Email settings

Connect corporate email so that users can receive emails on behalf of the company about new tasks or business processes.

Please note, that sending invitations to new users and password recovery emails is configured separately.

You can configure the sending messages with any content in business processes using the Email Notification activity.

Moreover, in their profiles users can enable email notifications about new approval tasks and make it possible to approve and reject files directly from emails.

Please note that in BRIX On-Premises you have to additionally set up sending out invites to new users and password recovery emails. To do that, edit the configuration file.
