Email a Client Contract
Limited Release
The Client Contracts tool is available as a limited release for Procore customers in the United States and Canada who have implemented the Procore for Speciality Contractors point-of-view dictionary. To learn more, see What dictionaries and languages are available in the Procore web application?Objective
To email a client contract to other Procore users for review and/or approval.
Background
After you create one or more client contracts, you may have a need to share that information with other individuals. Unlike other Procore tools that send automatic email notifications to members of a distribution group or list when items are created, updated or approved, a client contract contains sensitive financial data. To protect that data, client contracts much be explicitly sent to individuals.
Things to Consider
- Required User Permissions:
- To send a client contract by email, 'Standard' level permissions or higher permissions on the project's Client Contracts tool.
- To be named as a recipient in the To or CC field, you must have a user account in the Project Directory.
Note: All recipients named in the To or CC field can view your client contract data in the PDF attached to the email message. - To gain access to a contract by clicking the 'View this Contract' or 'View Online' link in the email message:
