Turn the toggle button on to receive an email when the recipient opens their card.

The recipient’s manager/supervisor may automatically be copied on the card. You can copy other people on the card by typing their name in the “CC” box. You can remove people from being copied by clicking the “X” next to their name.

When you have completed this part of the form, click “Next.”
