Does submitting an RFI send email and what does Sent mean?

  1. Read the notice in the register to see which email features are enabled.
  2. For an external assignee, submit first, then review the recipient, EN/FR language and selected whole reference files and explicitly confirm one email.
  3. Refresh the notification status: queued awaits processing; sending or unknown is unresolved; sent means the provider accepted it.

Internal notices contain a TCC sign-in link and no attachments. Signing in returns the reader to the RFI but grants no project access. External email prepares a PDF and private response link; files remain behind that link. Source or recipient changes can skip an attempt. Unknown attempts are not automatically resent. When email is disabled, share the PDF or private link yourself.

External follower copies require separate approval.
