Assessment Procedure
After creating the email or landing page, Send your asset for approval to your Knak Academy Review group (academy+yourcompanyname@knak.com)
If there is no Knak Academy user set up to assign this review to, please follow these instructions for one-time setup
Please add comments on the collaborate tab to highlight where each assessed item is. For example, place a pin on your button and type 'button with working link & hover state'
What happens after you send an email or landing page for approval?
Knak will review your asset and message you to discuss your results. If you're successful, we will send you a certificate to confirm you're certified and send you some special ✨ Knak swag! ✨
Knak Academy Reviewer Role Setup
If there is no Knak Academy user set up to assign this review to, your admin will need to complete a one-time setup to create a Knak Academy user and set up the review group. If you're an admin, you can create the Knak Academy user by following the steps below.
To do this, create a new user in your account and assign the collaborator role. Invite the new user and wait for Knak to accept the invite.
Please use the email address: academy+youraccountname@knak.com
For example, if your account was called 'apple' you would use academy+apple@knak.com
