automated email notifications & alerts, task reminders, scheduled reports and
much more. The feature offers ready-to-use email templates, the ability
to respond to requests directly from the email Inbox and
the ability to review and manage emails generated from LinkSOFT.

Reminders", "HR alerts" and other system alerts.

Prerequisite
LinkSOFT uses SMTP mail server to send emails therefore
the following must be obtained.
-
SMTP
host - This is the outgoing mail server through which the mails are
sent.
-
SMTP Username and Password. It is better to use an
Application Password. See documentation from your Email Provider.
-
"From Email Address" - This is the email address that
is used to send emails from LinkSOFT.
Email configuration in the WEB.CONFIG is compulsory.
Emails can be configured for each company as well. This
is done in MENU "Company Administration ~> Configuration". Filter the list of
configuration rules by "smtp". When emails are configured by
company, the WEB.CONFIG settings are ignored. This is useful is you want
each company to have a different mail server.
