Summary

Outbound message connections allow emails to be sent from the app. This will allow you to send notifications to the relevant users when an issue has been updated. Note: This will require a Notification mapping to be configured.

Default connection

The first outbound message connection you create will be set as the default. Once you have more connections, you can select which one is the default. The default outbound message connection is used to notify your JEMH Cloud profiles' forward users when there is a problem during email processing.

Creating a New Message Outbound connection

  1. Navigate to JEMH Cloud > Messaging > Message Outbounds

  2. Click the Create button. You’ll now see the outbound message connection creation screen.

  3. First, enter a name to differentiate the connection from any others you may have.

  4. Choose the type of the connection to make. Some types come built-in, including ones using OAuth authentication.

    1. Custom

    2. Gmail

    3. Yahoo

    4. Outlook.com

    5. Office 365

    6. Mailtrap.io
