Email Configuration Settings - 920
Configuration Guide
Actions or events in VimBiz can be used as triggers to send an email. Example: When a Service Request’s Status is changed, the owner of the Service Request is emailed to notify them of the change.
Email Configuration Settings provide a wide range of email configuration options. Email settings are configured at three levels:
- Employee
- Form: Change My Settings.
- Service Center
- Form: Manage Centers.
- Company
- Form: Global Settings.
Reference(s): Message Distribution Rules.
