Creating a Send Email Workflow Policy

---

In this situation, the vice president of sales wants to be notified when the number of deals that are not closed reaches a designated level. In this case, you have already created an workflow policy action that batches information on the deals and sends an email message containing information on the number of deals you designated.

To create a Send Email Workflow policy

Navigate to the Workflow Policies Policies view.
Click New and fill in the Policies applet as follows:
Policy Name: Very High Value Opportunity
Workflow Object: Opportunity
Group: Medium Frequency
Quantity: 5
Comments: Reminder to talk to the sales rep on opportunities nearing closure > $400,000, but low probability
Batch: checked

NOTE:  You do not need to fill in the Quantity field to have a repeating message.

Fill in the Conditions applet with the following:

Field	Comparison	Value
Forecast Probability	<=	50
Forecast Revenue	>	400000

Fill in the Actions applet.
Enter the Action name with the appropriate workflow policy action:

   Excellent Quality Opportunity

Check the Consolidate field.

The Send Message Arguments fills in automatically with the information from the defined workflow policy action.

NOTE:  To make sure that the email action works properly, you can restart the Workflow Policy Monitor and Workflow Policy Action agents and set the Workflow Policy Action parameter Sleep to at least 5 minutes. This makes sure that your email lists all the opportunities meeting the conditions of the workflow policy. If the Workflow Policy Action agent runs too fast, then there will be an individual email each time the conditions of the workflow policy are met. Starting the server processes is discussed in Workflow Policies Server Administration.
