The sending of document approval emails is designed so that from Athento it is possible to send documents to external users who do not have an Athento account. These users will be able not only to receive documents, but also to express their conformity or not with them.
This functionality is ideal for working with customers or suppliers, as well as future employees.
Sending document approval emails is a powerful feature that has evolved over time to offer more flexibility.
