Personalization Notes

Platform Setup Steps
Trigger
An assignment approaches first shift or a worksite, supervisor, duty, hazard, training, PPE, access, schedule, or accommodation record changes.
Segment
Verified candidate, temporary worker, host-employer contact, hiring manager, time approver, payroll contact, safety contact, or authorized staffing contact for one current assignment event.
Delay
Send after the record is reconciled and before the next dependent operational action.
Reply owner: Assignment and safety owner responsible for arrival and contacts, exact duty boundary, agency and host training ownership, PPE and access, changed-work reporting, worker support, and confirmation.
- Verify worker, client, host and authority, exact requisition or assignment, duty and safety record, source and version, owner, decision, timing, and dependencies.
- Send minimum necessary role-specific facts with one controlled consent, acceptance, verification, approval, safety, correction, handoff, or live-contact action.
- Record disposition and evidence, preserve recruitment, consent, employment, safety, time, payroll, incident, property, and transition history, suppress superseded automation, and update ATS, HRIS, time, payroll, safety, billing, and CRM systems.
Stop conditions
- Valid disposition, superseding requisition or assignment state, withdrawal, cancellation, reply, or live handling.
- Client, worksite, job, duty, hazard, schedule, pay, bill rate, candidate, consent, identity, authorization, credential, time, incident, extension, conversion, end date, or authority changes.
- Emergency, injury, unsafe work, retaliation, harassment, discrimination, immigration or identity dispute, wage complaint, accommodation, protected leave, regulator, law-enforcement, legal, or qualified HR and safety control.
Before You Send
Note: there are laws and regulations around this. Please make sure you follow any applicable rules before sending.
Subject Line Variations
- Day-one handoff for assignment {{assignment_reference}}
References the actual operating record or decision.
- Day-One Site, Training, And Access Handoff: {{reference_number}}
Direct operational alternative.
- Update from {{company_name}} about {{reference_number}}
Use with a recognized business and valid reference.
Mistakes To Avoid
- Treating the host as solely responsible for temporary-worker safety
Staffing agencies and host employers share responsibility and must coordinate based on actual control and hazards.
Use instead: Define, communicate, verify, and preserve both employers' responsibilities.
- Letting client invoice approval control worker pay
Billing disputes and wage-payment duties are separate.
Use instead: Preserve time evidence, pay according to applicable rules, and resolve billing independently.
Sequence Placement
Use only for the verified staffing event represented by the current record; suppress when stale, superseded, withdrawn, cancelled, disputed, completed and reconciled, or under emergency, safety, injury, retaliation, harassment, discrimination, identity, wage, accommodation, leave, regulator, legal, or qualified human control.
