Email Inbox

Once an email account is added, the email inbox will be accessible.

Managing a business entails numerous transactional email interactions with stakeholders such as customers, suppliers, and internal team members. The Email Inbox feature facilitates the consolidation of all business-related emails within your BizCentric account. By integrating email access with other transactional details, BizCentric becomes a unified platform for accessing comprehensive business information.

Within BizCentric, you have the capability to configure Email Inbox for each system user. Below are the detailed steps to configure Email Inbox for a user:

1. Create a User

You can configure an Email Inbox for a System User only. Hence ensure that you have added yourself and your colleagues as a User and assigned them required permissions.

To know how to add a new User, go to the User page.

2. Create an Email Domain

Email Domain for the following Services is available out-of-the-box and you can directly proceed to create an Email Account. Know more about creating an Email Domain here.

  • Gmail
  • Yahoo
  • Sparkpost
  • SendGrid
  • Outlook.com
  • Yandex.mail

To be able to send and receive emails into your BizCentric account from other email services (like Webmail or Gmail), you should set up an Email Domain master. In this master, email gateway details like SMTP Address, Port No., IMAP/POP3 address details are captured. If you have ever configured a local email client (like Outlook), Email Domain master requires details to be fed similarly.

To add new Email Domain, go to:

> Home > Settings > Emails > Email Domain > New

3. Email Account

Create an Email Account based on the Email ID of the User. For each User whose email account is to be integrated with BizCentric, an Email Account master should be created for it.

If you are creating an Email Account for your colleague who’s Email Password is unknown to you, then check field “Awaiting Password”. As per this setting, a User (for whom Email Account is created) will get a prompt to enter email password when accessing his/her BizCentric Account.
