Message Review Process 

For an overview of the message review and sending process including steps on setup for approval notifications, please click here: https://help.myemma.com/s/article/Send-process-for-Authors-and-Editors-in-Emma-HQ-accounts

Roles:

• Author: Can create (but not send) messages.
• Manager: Can create, cancel, send and approve messages.

Notes: 

Manager can send messages without a separate approval step.  (See Getting Started article for details.)

Manager approves message from Author:

• When logging on, Manager is taken to the HD Homepage (outside of all subaccounts).
• Manager will be on the "Sent" tab by default.
• If there is a message ready for approval, there should be a red asterisk after the "Upcoming" tab marking.
• Select "Upcoming" tab.
• View list of messages you can review.  Select "Review" button for message you wish to act on.
• If message date send time is in the past, schedule date/time will be in red.  Must update in order to activate "Approve" button.
• After reviewing, select "Approve" or "Deny".
• Sending notification of action to author is recommended.  (Please note that this is the only step in which the author's EID will be displayed to the manager.)
• Sending specific reason to author is also recommended for Deny actions; message can also be specified on Approve action.
• You may encounter a nonspecific error if one of the other managers has already approved or denied the message. (We are trying to get the error message displayed to be more specific.)

Recommendations:

• All subaccounts should have a minimum of two managers for approvals and redundancy. 
• Ensure your email notifications are toggled on; when on, approval requests will be emailed to you. 

• It is possible to include comments when approving or denying messages, which will be sent to the author of the message.
