Workflow Email Notifications Overview

Workflow email notifications in Concur Invoice are designed to keep users informed about important actions and status changes throughout the invoice approval process. These notifications alert approvers, processors, and other stakeholders when invoices require their attention, ensuring timely reviews, approvals, and overall process efficiency.​

As an administrator with unrestricted permissions, you can change and customize the default email notifications sent to users during the workflow.​​
