How to: Set Up Email Notifications
You can define which events, such as an approval, rejection, cancellation, or delegation, trigger an email notification to an approver. The notification indicates that a document is awaiting approval. Mail templates are associated with approval and overdue mail notifications. You can use the default templates provided with Microsoft Dynamics NAV, or you can export, modify, and then reimport them. For more information, see How to: Modify Mail Templates for Document Approval Notifications.
