Narrative:

Approximately 35 mins after the flight was airborne, a company employee called to alert me that a hazmat form for a dangerous goods item was not given to the captain prior to gate departure. I asked him to send me a message that included all the information that was on the hazmat form. I forwarded this information, along with a brief note, to the captain informing him of the error. The item shipped on the aircraft was of no direct threat to safety or completion of this mission, so I allowed the flight to continue (it was a paperwork error only). Crew to file reports upon arrival at destination.
