Rx-Hub: Emails
- Susannie Tiempo
Pre-requisites
Install Rx-Hub 1.0.1 or higher
Overview
The Email functionality in Rx-Suite enables you to set up and customize your email settings, empowering the application to send email messages. This feature is invaluable for various workflows, including sending Purchase Order documents to vendors or delivering Frame Transfer documents to retail stores.
Permissions
Rx-Suite provides you with an exceptional level of control over user permissions. With our platform, you can easily grant users full or read-only access to specific features within the Hub module. Moreover, we offer the flexibility to create custom roles with pre-defined permissions, allowing you to assign appropriate access rights to different users efficiently.
The relevant permissions for Email functionality can be set up in Rx-Hub → Roles → (Specific Role) → Rx-Hub.
In Rx-Hub, edit the role of the user you want to grant access to.
Grant the role “Create, Read, Update, Delete” permissions for the Email functionality of the Rx-Hub permissions tab. Make sure you click on the “Update Role” button to save the settings. Learn more about setting up roles.
Required Setup and Configuration
You need to ensure that the settings of your outgoing email address are configured properly. Some email providers (such as Gmail or Outlook) have specific settings that must be set in order to allow third-party applications (such as Rx-Universe or Rx-Suite) access to send emails using their services.
Here are some of the available vendor-specific information for setting up app passwords.
