The Yukon Government (YG) is implementing Envoke, a new email communication platform. Envoke is a Canadian owned and operated company that specializes in working with communication professionals. While other email platforms, such as MailChimp or Constant Contact, are designed for marketers to generate commercial revenue, Envoke focuses on facilitating effective and compliant communication. All client data is maintained on servers in Canada and service support is provided from within Canada as well. Envoke works with organizations such as government agencies, municipalities, universities, regulatory bodies, healthcare providers, financial institutions and more.
Envoke is very user friendly, and administrators can easily manage their accounts, departments, messages, and subscriptions. It has many privacy and security features in place as well as ensures Canadian Anti-spam Law (CASL) compliance. The application includes tools to automatically collect, track and upgrade to express consent under CASL and all types of implied consent expiry dates are tracked to automatically suppress emails where consent is no longer valid.
