How do I opt-in to receive email notifications?

The first steps to take are to ensure that you are opted in to receive the daily or weekly notifier emails through your profile page.

  • An expense claim has been submitted (if the line manager manages expenses)

  • One-to-one has been scheduled (e.g. by a line manager for an employee)

  • New TOIL request 

  • Leave cancellation request 

  • Objective suggested 

  • 14 days prior to due date for objective

  • Recurring one-to-one ending 

  • You have been set as a one-to-one reviewer 

  • On the day of an interview (recruiters only)

  • Leave cancellation request has been approved

  • You have tasks due in the next 7 days

Recruitment email notifications

The recruiter of a vacancy will receive daily emails informing them of new applications. These emails are not individual per applicant so will be sent first thing and will tell the recruiter how many new applications they have for a particular vacancy. Please note, that if there are no applications, no email is sent.

If there is no recruiter set for the vacancy, then the HR user will receive the emails daily.

If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to contact the support team using the message feature within your Breathe account.

Please note: Turning off email notifications on the profile will only stop emails that provide a reminder. All other emails such as leave requests, sickness submissions etc will still come through
