Email a Head Contract

  1. Last updated
  2. Save as PDF

Objective

To email a head contract to other Procore users for review and/or approval.

Background

After you create one or more head 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 head contract contains sensitive financial data. To protect that data, head contracts much be explicitly sent to individuals.  

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions:
    • To send a head contract by email, 'Standard' level permissions or higher permissions on the project's Head 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 head contract data in the PDF attached to the email message. 
    • To gain access to a head by clicking the 'View this Contract' or 'View Online' link in the email message:
      • 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Head Contracts tool. 
        OR
      • 'Read Only' or 'Standard' level permissions on the project's Head Contracts tool AND your name must be listed under 'Make this Visible only to Administrators and the Following Users.'
  • Limitations:
    • Unlike other Procore tools, which send automated email notifications to distribution groups or lists, the Head Contracts tool requires you to use the steps below.

       Caution
      Does your head contract contain attachments that don't want your email recipients to view? If your project team has added attachments to the head contract you are sending by email, be sure to review all of those attachments to ensure you are OK with sending them to your recipients. Your recipients will have the ability to download those attachments. To learn how these attachments were added, see Create Head Contracts and Edit a Head Contract.
