emails from CARS

Been busy testing this week to make sure the automatically generated emails from CARS get to the correct person when some type of event happens (evaluation is ready for review or if an invoice is paid, adjusted, rejected). No matter the situation at your firm, when something occurs, an email will get to someone at your firm.

I see a lot of email addresses for vendor staff where the WAMS email address is assigned to either a Gmail, Hotmail, or Yahoo mail account. When notifications start in CARS, it will be sending the email to that address.

This is just a sneak peek at the new look of CARS where you will be able to personally manage your email address, phone number, and your name. In this instance, if Wanda worked for Amos Enterprises, the email from CARS would actually go to her Yahoo account, which might not be the correct place.

If you happen to be on the notify list for a particular project, for instance, when an evaluation is ready to review, you will receive an email. If you are the administrator for your firm, and you do not assign someone the role of evaluation notification, you will get an email like this....

-------------------

This email serves as a notification that the evaluation for the project/contract listed below is ready for review.

Project : 2060-99-99
Work Order :
Evaluation Number:1
Vendor Name: Amos Enterprises.
Date Ready for Review :03/03/2015

The link to CARS is https://trust.dot.state.wi.us/cars/

The reason you are receiving this email is because you are a CARS Administrator for your firm and no person is listed to receive email notification regarding evaluations for this project/contract at your firm.

Please assign a person at your firm to a notification role for this project/contract.

We're really looking forward to this functionality.

Got a few more firms signed up to use the CARS Application this week.
