The very best online work order software in the world (IMHO) just got a little bit better. I just added and tested a new feature to WorkMelon: the ability to automatically send an assignee an email.

When you check the “Email to Assignee” box (see picture below), an email containing the information of a work order is sent to the assignee’s email address.

And as with the rest of WorkMelon, the emailed work order is as simple and functional as possible. It looks something like this:

bob,

You have received a new work order on 10/27/2010.

Location: Secret Bunker

Description: Wash the cat.
Nobody else wants to do it.
You can use the big clippers.

You can view this work order online by logging into your account at http://www.workmelon.com/app/900109167/

This email was automatically generated by WorkMelon.com. If you do not wish to receive these work orders via email, please contact your manager.

And there you have it.
