Email Settings

How to get here in the StoreGrid Web Console?
  In the top menu, select: "Administration->Advanced Options" and click on the "Email Settings" icon in the left hand side.

StoreGrid has the capability to email all the client-side and server-side reports to interested recipients. The following describes the configuration options:

Enable - First you need to check this checkbox to enable email feature in StoreGrid and then provide inputs to the rest of the fields.

Outgoing (SMTP) Server - This is the SMTP server StoreGrid should use to send the email. This will most probably be the same server as the one you use in your email client (Outlook, Eudora etc.). If you are not sure, check with your Systems Administrator.

More Options Link - If you click on the "More Options" link you will be shown couple of more advanced options:

1. Outgoing (SMTP) Server Port Number - By default SMTP servers use port number 25. If by any chance it is different in your case, you can provide the port number here.

2. This SMTP Server Requires Authentication - If your outgoing server (SMTP server) requires authentication before it can accept an email for sending out, you need to check this checkbox. You will get the following three options to configure the username, password and the authentication type.

1. User Name - Enter the user name. This will most probably same as the user name you use in your email client to receive mails.

2. Password - Enter the password for the above user name.

3. Authentication Type - Provide the type of authentication required by the SMTP server. If you are not sure leave it with the default value "AUTO".

Sender Email Id - Provide the email ID of the sender from which the reports should be emailed. The email will be delivered to the recipients as if coming from the Sender Email ID you provide here.

Test Mail Server - Once you have entered the SMTP server details, click on the link "Test Mail Server" and check if it works by entering an Email ID in the 'To Email ID' field and then clicking on "Send Test Email". A test email will be sent to the 'To Email ID'. If you don't receive the test email, check the SMTP server settings again.

Recipients EMail Id - Enter the recipients' Email IDs here. You can select a single Email address for all "Success" reports and for all "Failure" reports. Or, you could specify different Email IDs for different "Success" and "Failure" reports. In case you want to Email the reports to multiple recipients, specify the Emails IDs separated by commas. (for example: joe@gmail.com, smith@msn.com).

You can also configure the conditions in which the reports should be sent by accessing the 'Client Email Filters' page through the 'Client Email Filters' icon in the left hand side of the "Administration->Advanced Options" page.
