Forward a Variation to a Project User by Email

Objective

To forward a variation to a Procore user using the email function in the Variations tool. 

Background

The Variations tool includes a built-in email function that lets you forward a Commitment Variation or Main Contract Variation to any user in the Project Directory. You can also use the steps below to forward a variation to its 'Designated Reviewer.' This notifies that person that the variation is awaiting their approve or reject response.

  • Additional Information:
    • All recipients must have a Procore user account with a valid email address. See Add a User Account to the Project Directory.
    • Recipients who have been granted the appropriate permissions can click the View Online link to view the most current update of the variation in the Procore web application.

  2. Click the Main Contracts or Commitments tab.
