Setup Instructions
You do not need to fill out the last section titled Incoming Email:
The "reply to address" can only be used if the email holder is a delegate of a shared mailbox or has an alias email address. The field cannot hold an email address that has no relationship to the main email address.
To test your connection:
- Go to an existing proposal
- Click: Print > Check the email box > Continue > Send a test email to yourself
- After you receive an “email sent successfully” notification in JobRunner/FloorManager, check your inbox and open the test email
- Reply to the email and the response will be sent to the Pacific Solutions inbox
Back in the system, on the dashboard upon login, there is a button that says Incoming Emails:
There is a scheduled script that runs every night and pulls in any replies that were sent from JobRunner/FloorManager, but it is possible that this process can be interrupted for various reasons (ie. a user changes their email password and forgets to change it in JR/FM). Should you need to sync emails, click (1) Sync Emails, and the system will go into the email inbox to look for anything sent from the database up to 14 days in the past.
You can hide individual emails or Hide All (2). You can use the (3) Show Omitted Emails button to access them again. If you click the (4) arrow by the proposal it will take you to the proposal, sales agreement, change order, etc. it was sent from.
You can watch this video to see a demonstration of how the incoming email function of the database works.
