What Does X3CloudDocs Workflow Allow You to Do?
Traditionally, workflow functionality within ERP systems is simplistic and lacks user-friendly features.
By using X3CloudDocs Workflow for Sage X3 you no longer need to send plain-text emails with limited formatting options. Instead, you can create fully branded user-friendly HTML5 email templates.
Templates are populated with data stored in Sage X3 and then sent to your nominated contact. Where document approvals are required, the email will include one-click Approve and Reject buttons, and the document as an attachment. Approval and rejection functionality is performed via the cloud, so there is no need to be on your business’s network. This means the recipient can carry out document authorisation from anywhere, on any device, without a Sage X3 user licence.
If a document is rejected, feedback can be given via a simple web form. Comments can feed back into Sage X3 and be pushed out as a follow up notification.
How Do You Create Email Templates?
Email templates are easy to create via your X3CloudDocs account, with a preview tool built into the application so you know exactly what you’re sending. The templates can either be created from scratch in X3CloudDocs, or HTML code can be pasted in, all you need to do is map your data fields. This allows relevant Sage X3 information to be merged into the email format for customisation and personalisation, along with adding system generated attachments.
