Notifications sent after the completion of an engagement campaign

Notifications sent out to users with results access

Results notification

Details: By default, this email is sent to all organization and engagement admins, as well as leaders with results access. If you'd prefer for only admins to receive this notification, you can change this setting in the "Organization Notifications" section of the Assessment Settings page in Engage.

When: The email notification is sent to users with administrative access (Engagement Admin and Organization Admins) when the assessment closes. If the setting to send results to Leaders is enabled, the email notification will be sent to Leaders one week after the campaign closes. This gives administrative users time to review the data before anyone else is notified.

Subject: Employee feedback from the Engagement Assessment is available for Weber Technology!

FAQs

Why didn't an employee didn't receive a survey email?
There are a few instances when an employee will not receive an invite to complete a survey:
  • The employee wasn't added to the employee list. It is possible the employee wasn't included in the campaign because they weren't in the system. Go to the employee list and check for them by searching or scanning the list
  • The employee has been deactivated or is not receiving surveys. An employee who is in the active employee list might still not receive the survey if their setting to receive surveys is not set to "Yes"
  • Their email or phone number was not correct in our database. To correct this, go to the employee list and update the information for the employee in question.
  • The notifications for the engagement survey was routed to their junk or spam folder. Have employees check both junk and spam to make sure their survey invite was not hidden by mistake and ensure you have properly set up IP and domain whitelisting.

If you still have concerns, contact support@15five.com for additional support.
