A list of e-mails sent by ObjectiveManager

This is a summary list of the e-mails that you may receive from ObjectiveManager. These e-mails are designed to keep people engaged with what their colleagues are focused on achieving – that’s powerful for helping people be more collaborative.

Note - Lead Reviewers will ‘follow' their Reviewees’s by default. It is possible for a Lead Reviewer may choose to ‘unfollow’ a Reviewee for certain reasons. In a similar fashion, Plan Team Members will automatically 'follow' a Plan.
