How to Send Workflow Emails to Related Contacts Email Addresses

You can configure workflows to automatically send emails to Related Contacts email addresses when specific triggers occur, such as when a patient's status changes to "Admitted".

Before You Begin

Ensure you have:

  • Access: Administrative access to create and modify CRM workflows.

  • Data Integrity: Related Contacts must be properly configured and populated in your system.

  • Workflow Strategy: A clearly identified trigger event (e.g., an Intake Opportunity Status changing to "Admitted").

Steps

  1. Navigate to Workflows: Go to your workflow configuration area in the system

  2. Create or Edit Workflow: Set up a new workflow or modify an existing one with your desired trigger (e.g., Status Change to "Admitted")

  3. Configure Email Action: Add an email action to your workflow

  4. Set Email Recipient: In the recipient field, use the variable syntax: $relatedContactsTable__primary_email

  5. Complete Email Setup: Configure your email subject, body, and any other required settings

  6. Save and Activate: Save your workflow and ensure it's activated

Verification / Expected Result

When the trigger event occurs (e.g., patient status changes to "Admitted"), the system will:

  • Automatically pull the email address from the Related Contacts table

  • Send the configured email to that address

  • Log the email activity in the workflow history

πŸ’‘ Tips & Best Practices

  • Test your workflow with a sample record before deploying to production

  • Ensure Related Contacts have valid email addresses to avoid delivery issues

  • Consider adding conditions to your workflow to handle cases where no Related Contact email exists
