Manage messages which require approval via the outbox

You have the following options with regards to which emails are sent to your investors from Registry Direct: 

• Send automatically. Emails which are created by you or generated by the system will be sent immediately to investors.
• Requires approval. Emails which are created by you or generated by the system must be manually approved through the communications centre before they are sent. This gives you a chance to review the emails and confirm their content is correct and you are happy with their contents, before they are sent to your investors.

By default, all categories of email for new issuers are set to Requires approval.
