Configuring Email Settings for Customers

Each customer can be configured to receive the following types of email:

  • Order Confirmations - sent after the order is completed in your system (you must set up a template in FTD Document Center)
  • Delivery Confirmations - sent after the order is marked delivered in your system (you must set up a template in FTD Document Center)
  • Statements - sent after you generate statements

To configure a customer's email settings:

  1. On the FTD Mercury Main Menu, click Customer Search. The Customer Search window opens.
  2. Perform your search to locate the customer. Once you have, double-click the customer in the results list. The Customer Detail Information window opens.
  3. If the General tab is not visible, click it.
  4. In the Email area, select the types of email you want the customer to receive. For each type, select an email address. If needed, you can add new email addresses.
  5. Click Save to save your changes.

If you selected Order Confirmations or Invoices, these are sent when you complete the order. Delivery Confirmations are sent when the order is marked delivered. Statements are sent after you generate statements in your system.

Emailing an Ad Hoc Invoice, Order Confirmation, and/or Delivery Confirmation

Entering New Email Addresses for a Customer Account

If you need to enter a new email address for a customer account, you do so from the Emails and Confirmations window. When you do so, these are available for future correspondence with the customer.
