SMTP Settings for Enhanced Email Communication
When utilizing shopVOX, the platform offers a built-in email server that facilitates direct email communication with your clients. This feature streamlines your workflow by consolidating all job- or order-related communication within the platform. When you send an email through shopVOX, your customers receive it with your name and email address appearing in the "From" fields. This ensures that the message appears directly from you, maintaining a professional image for your business.
However, shopVOX allows integration with external providers such as Gmail or Outlook if you prefer an alternative email service. You can seamlessly connect with your preferred email service by configuring the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) settings in your shopVOX account. Once the integration is set up, all emails sent through shopVOX will be routed through your external email provider, and the recipient will see the chosen email address in the "From" field. Whether you use the built-in email server or an external provider, shopVOX offers comprehensive tracking and easy access to all email communication, enabling you to maintain a complete record of customer interactions.
Please note: Sending emails from our email server may result in potential blocks or spam filtering. We highly recommend configuring your SMTP settings and sending all emails through your dedicated email server to mitigate this. This ensures optimal deliverability and reduces the likelihood of messages being marked as spam.
By implementing SMTP settings tailored to your preferences, you can enhance your email communication within shopVOX and effectively manage your business correspondence.
