Third Party Email Confirmation
We would be interested in an automatic email that could be sent to a third-party users confirming that their document or information was successfully uploaded into an application.

This question has come up as well. Any idea on the consideration of this?

I absolutely agree! We use this function for our scholarship applications and I'm getting a lot of questions about whether the transcript was really uploaded or not. A lot of people are getting thrown off by the option of clicking "Continue," which returns them to the upload page, which makes them think it didn't work.
While this is still saving me time overall from uploading these documents themselves, I'm still spending a fair amount of time checking individual applications for people who would like that confirmation.

We'll begin using the third party feature this February - I predict our third party responders might request some sort of email confirmation as Emily's idea mentions. (If I were a third party responder, I would appreciate receiving a confirmation email that my portion of the application has been submitted and received.)
I'm not sure what building/creating something like this would look like for Foundant (if it's even possible), but it would be helpful to have the option of selecting the third party responder's email address for sending email notifications from email templates ... such as the confirmation email ... or selecting their email address to copy them to an award notification email that is sent to the applicant. This would be a tremendous help to us, as we copy the school and Sister (third party responders) to the same award notification email we send to the family (the applicant) for our tuition assistance process.
If there's another way around this, it would be great to know. If not, we would love to see this happen ... without causing any major headaches or heart attacks in Bozeman.

This would be a great idea. We have just started with Foundant, and this is the most requested item from applicants.
