Permissions needed:

  • Management Console

  • Email notifications

1. Select Management Console > Email notifications > Automated CPD emails

2. This shows any scheduled automated CPD emails, and has fields to add a new automated email:

  • Name

    Appears in the list of scheduled emails. We recommend keeping it simple and related to the relevant CPD scheme

  • Domain

    Select the staff domain for the scheduling

  • Start including CPD periods

    Set when to start including the CPD scheme in the reminder email. Default is 360 days before the end date

  • Stop including CPD periods

    Set when to stop including the CPD scheme in the reminder email. Default is on the end date

  • CPD scheme

    Choose the CPD scheme that the email will be used for (you can have different templates for each scheme)

  • CPD status

    Choose whether to include users whose CPD status is On track (shows as green) or users whose CPD status is Behind (shows as red). This is calculated pro rata, so a user who’s completed 7 out of 12 hours by Q2 would be classed as On track for Q3 and Q4

  • Template

    Choose the CPD template email that should go out for this CPD period or scheme

  • Date

    The day that the email should be sent

  • Time

    Default is UK (either GMT or BST) time, and we recommend sending early in the morning

  • Repeat after

    Set the frequency in days or months

3. Select Add automated email, and the email now appears under the list of scheduled emails. Select Preview to view the content:
