Beyond - Mass Mailer Account Setup

What is a Mass Mailer Account?

A mass mailer email account allows multiple users to use the same email address. Typically these accounts are not tied to an individual but to a service or group. Example, payroll@staffingcompany.com or recruiting@staffingcompany.com. 

These emails can be set up at the System level in order to be shared with one or more teams to use. 

Beyond has a few system level settings that an admin should consider when using email in the system.

Default Email Settings

Providers

This section allows you to add default settings for when your users set up their own email. Currently, we only support Mailchimp (Mandrill) under provider setup. 

To add your Mailchimp (Mandrill) account information: 

1. Navigate to System Settings > System Email > Providers
2. Select the + to add a provider
3. Select Mandrill 
4. Enter the following information
   1. Account Name - identifier that will make it easier for users to know what to choose
   2. API key - From Mailchimp (Mandrill) 
   3. Sub Account - From Mailchimp (Mandrill) 
5. Click Submit

Now when a user goes to add their email under user settings, they will be able to pick the Mailchimp (Mandrill) Settings you already set up: 

They will then be able to add their email address from their Mailchimp (Mandrill) account and have the settings populate for them.

Signatures

Signatures under system settings allow you to set up different signatures that all users can use. These signatures can be set up as defaults on the system level email accounts or just used as generic templates for new users to copy and edit. 

To Set Up a System Signature

1. Navigate to System Settings Settings > System Email > Signatures
2. Select the + in the upper right to add a new signature
3. Enter a name for your signature (this will be used for your team to select from when they want to insert a signature) 
4. Copy and paste or type in your signature
