Use the navigation panel to go to Customer/Maintenance/E-mail setup.
‚E-mail setup‘ allows the user create presentable e-mail templates and send them from a selected ‚Sender‘ e-mail address. These e-mails can be used, for example, as cover e-mails for invoices or subscriptions. See example below.
NOTE: If no ‚Sending e-mail‘ is included, or if [email protected] is used, then the user will not receive ‚undeliverable‘ notices if an e-mail bounces. It is therefore advisable to set up the ‚Sending e-mail‘ address as a company e-mail using the SMTP – Host. Read more about SMTP Host here.
Click on ‚Add‘ in the toolbar/ribbon to add an E-mail setup.
Fill out the detail form shown below.
Description of e-mail setup fields:
Sending e-mail = [email protected]: This is the e-mail address that the e-mail will be sent from.
Send e-mail from employee: If the sender is an employee, and this box is checked, then the system will look for the employee’s e-mail on the order. Read about setting employees up here. (English translation coming soon). Note that this will only work if the user’s e-mail server is set up to send from other people in your organisation than the e-mail in the SMTP setup. Uniconta’s default email is not set up this way.
CC to Sender: Check this box if the sender is to receive a copy of the e-mail.
Transmitter name =UK Demo company: Name of the sender.
Reply to: If required, enter an e-mail address that a reply can be sent to.
Bcc: If required, enter an e-mail address to receive a bcc.
Subject of e-mail = UK Demo company invoice. Text for the subject of the e-mail.
HTML/Open HTML editor: See below.
Unicode: Check the box to enable Unicode, which ensures, for example, that the user can use language specific letters in the subject and body of the e-mail.
Add fields: Use the ‚Add fields‘ dropdown menus to select any fields to be included in the body of the e-mail. Click on the arrow to add the fields. This function can also be used for the ‚Subject of e-mail‘ field, but the fields will need to be copied and pasted from the body of the e-mail.
Body text of e-mail: E-mail text.
HTML
E-mails can also be written in an HTML editor, such as Microsoft Expression Web and then copied into Uniconta. An example of HTML Danish text, with language specific letters, is given below.
