eGC1 Email Notifications Details

This page describes the email notifications sent during the eGC1 approval process. The SAGE Suite Email Notifications article provides information about other system emails.

Who is Notified, When and Why

SAGE sends a number of email notifications during the eGC1 routing and approval process. The table below lists each notification type, the condition that generates the email, and the recipients. SAGE generally sends emails to the person’s UW NetID address.

Note: If a reviewer approves an eGC1 before the email notification would have been sent, the system does not send it.

Select a link in the Email column to display an example of the email contents.
