How to customize the email subject for the PDF report notification

This article will show you how to customize the email subject

Why customize the email subject 

Customizing the email subject allows you to identify and organize your PDF reports quickly and efficiently. This ensures recipients can immediately recognize the content and purpose of each report. By personalizing the subject line, you can standardize it by inspection type or use specific details that were entered into the form template through the use of KPI labels 

Before we get started

Take note

  • You can customize your email subject only if you are an "Owner" or "Admin" of the organization.
  • For dynamic subject names, you must use the KPI formulas in your form template to define the variable that you would like to use. 
  • You can only customize your email subject via the web portal. 
  • You can use multiple form variables in the email subject

You can define these variables by utilizing KPIs within your form template.
