Notifications and operational outputs
Section titled “Notifications and operational outputs”| Surface | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Lifecycle email | Communicates the applicable employee change to the configured recipients. Hire and Return email follow account-readiness checks. |
| Microsoft Teams card | Shows request details and status when Teams cards are enabled for that lifecycle. A Transfer with an Assignment End has a separate follow-up request; its card is shown when enabled. |
| Outlook calendar event | Shows the intended lifecycle timing and shared information on the configured calendar. |
| Administrator failure email | Notifies administrators of a processing problem. |
Your organization selects the email, Teams and calendar communications for each lifecycle. Approvals authorize work; lifecycle messages report progress and provide employee information. For Hire, the event is Free and Private and does not request an attendee response. Calendar permissions still control who can read it.
When Include Manager is enabled, applicable calendar participation and employee-email copies include the resolved manager. Transfer and Transfer Revert invite both relevant managers when they resolve, but copy only that request’s New Manager on lifecycle email. If New Manager does not resolve, the other manager is not substituted. Revert preserves the original Include Manager choice. Other configured notification recipients still receive their applicable messages.
