## What does the Alert on Onboard/Offboard Execution Crate do?
Our Alert on Onboard/Offboard Execution Crate ensures that your security protocols are upheld during critical transitions like onboarding or offboarding. This Crate sends automated notifications to a specified email address whenever an onboarding or offboarding automation is run, letting you know if the execution was successful or unsuccessful. The Crate enables you to perform the following:
* Automatically send an email to the designated address, a great way to notify a point of contact at your customer's company when a user has been onboarded or offboarded
* Enhance security measures during sensitive operations like onboarding and offboarding
* Work seamlessly with any existing onboarding or offboarding workflows you may have
### How the Crate works
* The system recognizes when an onboarding or offboarding automation is initiated.
* An automated email is dispatched to the specified security email address, detailing the action taken.
{% hint style="info" %}
Note that this Crate has no triggers. Its workflow is meant to be set up using a workflow [completion handler](https://docs.rewst.help/documentation/automations/workflows/completion-handlers-and-workflow-wrappers), which will run after the onboarding or offboarding workflows execute. You'll need to manually connect it to your desired workflow— either the workflow unpacked from the Microsoft: User Onboarding Crate or the workflow unpacked from the Microsoft: User Offboarding Crate.

## Crate prerequisite
To choose the email where the notification will be sent, you must set the [organization variable ](https://docs.rewst.help/integrations/organization-variables#manually-add-a-new-organization-variable)`onboard_offboard_notification_email` before unpacking this Crate.
## Unpack the Alert on Onboard/Offboard Execution Crate
1. Navigate to **Marketplace** **> Crates** in the left side menu Rewst platform.
2. Search for `Alert on Onboard/Offboard Execution`.
\
3. Click on the Crate tile to begin unpacking.
4. Click **Unpack Crate**.
5. Click **Continue**.
6. Enter **Time Saved** under **Crate Configuration**.
7. Click **Unpack**.
### Additional setup steps: Make the completion handler
Follow [steps here](https://docs.rewst.help/documentation/automations/workflows/completion-handlers-and-workflow-wrappers) to set up the completion handler for the workflow unpacked from the Crate. You want to add the completion handler so that the workflow unpacked with the Crate,`[ROC] Listener: New Employee Run Notification`, would trigger when the initial workflow completes. This initial workflow would be either the [Microsoft: User Onboarding workflow](https://docs.rewst.help/documentation/crates/existing-crate-documentation/microsoft-user-onboarding-crate-v2) or the [Microsoft: User Offboarding workflow](https://docs.rewst.help/documentation/crates/existing-crate-documentation/microsoft-user-offboarding-crate), depending on how you want to use the Crate.
1. Navigate to the desired Microsoft: User workflow.
2. Choose the **When this workflow completes** tab.
3. Set the **Trigger On Statuses** section to run the workflow as all possible statuses: **succeeded**, **failed**, **timeout**, and **canceled**.
4. If desired, set specific organizations for this completion handler to apply to. Click **Add All** to apply the completion handler to all organizations.
5. Ensure that **Enabled** is toggled on.
6. Click **Submit**.
Be sure to add all statuses, which will send an email for all possible initial workflow execution results.
### Test the Crate
1. Navigate to **Automations > Workflows** in the left side menu of your Rewst platform.
2. Search for the workflow you used as the initial workflow in your completion handler.
3. Click on that workflow to open it in the Workflow Builder.
4. Click **Test** to run that workflow.
5. Check the email address indicated in your set organization variable to ensure that an email was sent.
