Ripple lets admins create personalised email alerts that generate and upload mail merge documents, such as contracts or salary letters, for signature. You can also allocate tasks, follow them up, check their status and act on whether they're outstanding or complete. Watch the video for an overview:
To get ripple, contact your account manager.
Ripple types
There are two types of ripple workflow:
Background: runs actions in the background, such as instructional email alerts, checking task or logbook status, or sending a document for signature.
Interactive: the people involved complete actions in PeopleHR, such as selecting an option to watch a video, or completing a logbook or online form.
Ripple methods
To launch either type of ripple automatically, use one of these methods:
Manual: filter employees by location, department, job role and more. You can also include or exclude specific employees, or launch the ripple from an employee record.
Query: if the filters can't find the right group of employees, use a query instead.
To create one, see build a ripple.
