System Email Template Customization

System Emails are automated emails sent by the system. These emails are either sent internally to your users (such as activity reminders) or are sent directly to your clients (such as payment due reminder).

Unless otherwise defined, the automated emails will come from the email address listed in Client No-Reply field: Settings > System Configurations > Organization - Emails.However, to ensure these emails look like they are coming from someone from within your organization you must set up a SMTP / e-transactional email account. If you are piggy-backed on Aysling’s SMTP account, they will appear to come from smtp@adorbit.com. (*reach out to your Aysling contact for more information on SMTP accounts).

Recommended System Email Customization (Settings > Templates > System Emails):

  • Internal Email: These are automated emails sent to users and are not client facing emails.

  • External Email: These are automated emails sent to your client.
