# What is the "follow-up" function and how can I use this option?

## Do you want to share a part of your document or findings with someone else? For example, informing a colleague, contractor or (technical) third party with your finding(s). The "Follow-up" function within Incontrol can be used.  

The follow-up function is activated via a container. In this way it is possible to only send specific data within that container. Sending is done via mail. This way, you can trigger an action to a third party while you are filling out your form.  

### **Follow-up**

Adding the "Follow-up" function is done by adding a container and edit the container element in the form builder.

![Follow-up-function](https://helpcenter.incontrol.app/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-08-2024-03-47-18-5628-PM.png?width=492&height=501&name=image-png-Jan-08-2024-03-47-18-5628-PM.png)

Then click on "Follow-up possible". By enabling this option, you have made it possible to use the follow-up function with this container while working with the form template.

![Follow-up-possible](https://helpcenter.incontrol.app/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-08-2024-03-47-32-6313-PM.png?width=402&height=413&name=image-png-Jan-08-2024-03-47-32-6313-PM.png)

All elements and information placed within this container will be sent to the recipient by mail.

### **In practice**

You can use the "Follow-up" function while completing your draft (via web, iOS and Android). In the upper right corner, click on the email icon next to the container where you have enabled 'Follow-up possible'.

This will bring up the following screen:

Here you can enter the email address to which you want to send the data and add a personal message. When you click send, the current information filled in is sent to the email address.
