It's possible to link your correspondence templates to a pre-set task so that users are prompted to generate letters/emails when they process the task on a case.

See ‘Add Pre-set Task Associated Templates' for more information.

When a task is linked to a correspondence template the following icon is displayed on the right of the task description when viewing the Tasks tab:

The correspondence template is displayed differently within the task information depending on whether the template being generated is a Standard Template or a Smart Template.

A list of all tasks that are linked to outgoing correspondence can be accessed from the main Equinox dashboard > Outgoing Correspondence.
