For example:
- Notify payroll when an employee changes their bank details
- Notify a manager when their employees' work anniversaries are
- Remind an employee 1 month before their Right to Work documentation is due to expire
- Let HR know 2 weeks before a Performance Review is due
- Inform a Document Owner that a Company Document needs to be reviewed
