Overview

Firmex can provide all users with automatic email notifications whenever new documents are uploaded to a Firmex project. The email notifications are sent on a set frequency - for example, once a day or once an hour - and contain links to the newly uploaded documents. The emails are sent from the domain (@firmexpostmaster.com). 

Only users with access to a document will be sent a notification. The frequency of notifications is initially set by the project's Administrator, and may be changed by each user to suit their needs.
