Trisk Updates Late February 2026: Personalized outbound communications, Tasks Due Escalation

In this update, we focused on operational control: preventing missed deadlines across the workspace and making outbound communication personal — increasing trust, clarifying context, and improving client response speed.

Tasks Due Escalation: Automatic Alerts for Tasks That Need Attention 

Due dates in Trisk have always helped assignees stay on track.
Now, it’s easier for managers and responsible leaders to stay ahead of delays across the entire workspace — without manually checking task lists or opening workflows one by one.

With Tasks Due Escalation, you can set workspace-level rules that automatically notify selected people when tasks are approaching their due date or are already overdue.

What’s New

A new Tasks Due Escalation tab is now available under:

Main Menu → Governance → Profile → Tasks Due Escalation

Here, workspace admins (Tenant users) with the proper permission can create escalation rules that send summary emails about tasks that require attention.

Each rule lets you define:

  • When to notify

Days in Advance
Example: notify 5 days before the due date
Special case: set 0 to notify only when tasks are already overdue

  • Who to notify 

Users
Select one or more users who should receive the escalation email notification.

The platform evaluates these rules across all active tasks in the workspace and sends:

– One summary email with the list of all matching tasks at that moment

– Direct links to open each task immediately

Different rules can notify different people at different times.
For example:

Operations lead — 5 days before due

Team manager — 2 days before due

Director — only when overdue

Why It Matters

In professional services work, delays rarely come from a lack of effort — they come from a lack of visibility.

When managers rely solely on manual checks, risks can be easy to miss across multiple clients and workflows.

Tasks Due Escalation gives leadership a simple early-warning layer:

  1. See risk sooner
  2. Intervene earlier
  3. Reduce last-minute surprises
  4. Protect deadlines across the workspace

It turns due dates into proactive signals. 

Instead of manually monitoring, managers receive a single clear email with direct links to all matching tasks.

Important Notes

📌  This tool is permission-based. Only users with the “Change company information” permission can see the Tasks Due Escalation tab. (Main Menu Governance Profile Change company information.)

📌  Completed, cancelled, or terminated tasks are automatically excluded from escalation notifications.

📌 Each escalation email is recorded in Governance → Communications → Communications Log for traceability.

Outbound Communications — Send Workflow Emails from Your Own Address

Workflow emails are critical: task assignments, reminders, approvals, and document reviews. But when every message comes from a generic system address, communication feels distant and easier to ignore.

This update expands Trisk’s personalization capabilities for outbound communications.

You can now send key workflow emails directly from your own verified email address — so recipients clearly see who took the action and why the message matters: more trust, more clarity, faster response.

At the same time, Trisk keeps full governance control, auditability, and safe fallbacks — so personalization never breaks reliability.

What’s New

Workspace admins (Tenant users) can now configure a personal outbound email address inside their User Profile and use it as the sender for action-driven workflow emails.

Outbound communications settings in client management and workflow automation software showing verified personal sender email configuration used for task assignments, reminders, approvals, and document requests in professional services automation platform.When enabled, emails triggered by your actions can come from:

you@yourcompany.com instead of system@trisk.io or a generic company sender, so messages feel personal and contextual.

Examples:

  • You send a reminder → email comes from you
  • You launch a workflow → first task notification comes from you
  • You send a document for review → email comes from you

Automated platform emails (billing, system reports, password reset, etc.) continue to use the system sender email.

Outbound communication settings are now part of a redesigned User Profile experience with a new tabs structure:

  • personal sender address
  • verification status
  • sender activation
  • which email types use the personal sender

Client users do not see outbound sender settings.

Add and Verify Your Personal Sender

Tenant users can add one personal sender address to their profile.

The flow is simple and controlled:

  1. Add your email and sender name
  2. Receive a verification email
  3. Confirm ownership
  4. Activate the sender

System sender always remains available as a fallback option and cannot be removed.

Choose Which Emails Use Your Personal Sender

After verification, you can control which message types are sent from your personal address.

  • task assignments and reassignments
  • reminders
  • workflow launch (first-task) notifications
  • document review actions
  • survey assignments

  • Etc. 

If disabled, those emails automatically fall back to:

Company sender → System sender

Sender Choice at the Moment of Action

When you trigger an action that sends notifications, Trisk can now show a Choose Sender Email step.

You can select:

  • Personal sender
  • Company sender
  • System sender

Popup in client workflow automation platform allowing users to select personal, company, or system email sender when sending task notifications, approvals, and document requests, improving email engagement tracking and collaboration across multi-client professional service workflows.

This provides flexibility without sacrificing control—especially useful when working across different client contexts.

Governance & Control Stay Centralized

Personal senders are fully governed at the admin (Tenant) level.

In Governance → Communications, authorized admins can:

  • view all configured sender addresses
  • turn personal senders on or off globally
  • turn individual senders on or off
  • edit or remove senders
  • see who added each sender
  • track verification and activation status

If personal outbound is disabled globally:

  • user settings become read-only
  • personal senders are automatically disabled
  • all emails revert to company/system sender
  • configurations are preserved for future re-enablement

Full Auditability

Outbound sender usage is fully traceable.

You can see which sender address was used in:

Governance → Communications Log

This preserves transparency for:

  • compliance
  • internal controls
  • client communication audits

Activity History behavior remains unchanged.

Communication activity log displaying sender address, workflow notification type, and timestamp, providing audit trail visibility and accountability for automated client interactions in accounting, legal, and consulting workflows.

Plan & Availability

Personal outbound senders are available on: Teams & Business plans.
If a tenant downgrades:

  • emails revert to system sender
  • user configurations remain stored but inactive

Why This Matters

Clients respond faster when emails feel human — not automated.

Managers trust communications more when they clearly show who initiated the action.

Teams waste less time explaining context when the sender already provides it.

This update delivers:

  • clearer accountability
  • higher email trust
  • more personal client communication
  • preserved governance and fallback safety
  • full audit visibility

Personal where it helps. Controlled where it matters.
