This guide details the steps to take if you need to change who receives the email from a workflow that has been triggered by a batch job.

Firstly, you need to create a copy of the batch job by following these steps.

  1. Login into the Admin Tool, then click Batch Jobs.

  2. Select the batch job you wish to edit.

  3. Click Create a copy of the selected batch job.

πŸ“Œ Note: This will allow you to make changes to the copy of the batch job. This is to avoid your changes being overwritten by a patch fix

You can then follow steps below to change the recipients of a workflow which is triggered by a batch job.

  1. Login to the Admin Tool, then click Batch Jobs.

  2. Find the batch job (e.g Pension Auto Enrolment - 22nd Birthday and select to 'Edit the selected batch job'.)

  3. Under the Workflows tab, double-click on the workflow you need to edit.

  4. Click Edit next to the Workflow field.

  5. Click Open Designer.

  6. Find the email or alert that needs to be changed.

  7. Double-click or right-click and select Set Message Details.

  8. To add a specific user, click Other on the right-hand side.

  9. Select the required Recipient Type (To, CC or Bcc).

  10. Select Primary Recipient, then select Specific Users.

  11. From the drop-down on Which filter should be evaluated, select Person Number by Person Number.

  12. From the next drop-down titled Which specific input should be used for the selected source, select the required person.

  13. Click OK.

  14. To send an email to a specific email address, follow steps 1-10 above.

  15. Select Another E-mail Address.

  16. Enter the required e-mail address in the box Another e-mail address at the bottom.

  17. Click OK 3 times to save changes and compile the workflow.

πŸ€“ Tip: If the email is setup to go to a specific user group, you will need to add the employee to that group.

If you have to change the recipients for a batch job that is not running a workflow, you can use the guidance available on our Customer Success Portal.
