E-mail Template Setup and Troubleshooting Delivery

Use E-mail Template Setup to customise the subject and the body of the e-mails that are sent out when issuing levies, arrears notices, work orders, quote requests, or Meeting Hub notices and minutes. This will mitigate chance of these e-mails being flagged as spam by your owner's e-mail host.  Merge letters will also allow for the E-mail Body Text to be amended.  Review our technical page for Deliverability of E-mails tips.
