Saving incoming emails to Client Manager is an important part of record-keeping. This can be managed either through Webmail or the Outlook Plugin. But which option is right for me?
Webmail
- Webmail is a feature that allows a user to view/interact with a copy of their inbox for the purpose of creating records inside of Client Manager.
- Through Webmail, emails can be saved as an email, file note or task record.
- Webmail can be set to save emails in two ways:
1. Manually - which requires a user to manually select which email to save against which client record.
2. Automatically - Webmail will auto-save emails from Outlook into Client Manager; the system will check the emails within Webmail and if there are any new emails these will be saved against the client record - If there are multiple clients with the same email address, emails will not be auto-saved. - Webmail must be opened/accessed from within Client Manager to enable both manual and automatic email saving to take place.
Outlook Plugin
- The Outlook Plugin is downloaded and will then live within your Outlook instance.
- Once logged into the Plugin, a user will right-click on an email/s within Outlook and opt to save within Client Manager against an appropriate client.
- Only email records can be created through the Outlook Plugin.
- Once logged into the Outlook Plugin, the user only needs to have Outlook open in order to save emails.
