Notify about result

Select one of the following values to include the approval or rejection results in the email.

    Notification emails are sent if an approval or rejection fails.

    Notification emails are sent for all actions. This includes successful approval or rejection confirmations as well as any failures notifications.

Attach invoice to email

If selected, one or more invoice is added to the email as an attachment. The recipient is then able to reference the invoice prior to approval or rejection.
