Communication Builder: Sending sensitive information
Updated at November 3rd, 2026
Table of Contents
This feature is used in conjunction with the Employee Communications product. If you have not purchased this product, then you will be unable to access this feature and its functionality.
This setting is only available for non-fillable PDF documents (Documents to Review).
Users can require employee authentication to view non-fillable documents (Documents to Review). This is beneficial for managers who want to send sensitive information to employees, such as performance reviews, internal reports, or evaluations alongside a specific task or question for employees to address.
Enable authentication
Authentication can be enabled for documents that aren’t meant to be filled out, but rather reviewed as part of an action or decision-making process.
When a non-fillable document is uploaded into the Communication Builder, a Require Authentication to View toggle will display just under it. By default, this will be toggled off, ensuring that no login is required to receive this part of the communication. However, if this setting is toggled on, then employees will be required to log in to access the document.
