Notification when third party letter of recommendation is submitted
I've seen a couple of posts about this already, but not sure that it was articulated in this way. It's scholarship season and students are stressed out trying to submit their applications and get teachers to complete their letters of recommendation. I was really surprised to learn there currently isn't any formal notification that gets sent when a teacher completes their 3rd party letter of recommendation in SLM. Teachers would benefit knowing their work was properly received. Students want to know they don't have to worry about this or nag their teacher to do this, and admins want to know so they can mark applications complete. Would you consider adding a way to formally notify via an email to teachers, students and admins when the third party submits their letters of recommendation? Thanks in advance for considering this.

We utilize third party forms for scholarship recommendations. While we appreciate the reminders that are sent when forms are not submitted after a week, we have had several students ask if they could receive an automatic notification once a recommendation form is submitted. Even though we tell students they can log in to their dashboard to check the status of third party requests, we would like to see notifications of submission be sent to the student (and to the third party who completed it). Thank you!
