Custom SMTP Setup
💡
This customisation is only for Hosted Voice services
Sending out emails is an important mechanism for the system to stay in touch with administrators and users. Emails can be used to set up welcome and password reset emails, they can be used to send voicemail messages, messages about missed calls and other status emails to extensions and send reports about the call queues and other accounts to managers.
By default, all emails sent out from the Atomic platform will be from notifications@atomtelecom.com.au. If you would like to use your own email server, you can set this up on the Atomic portal by navigating to:
🧭
Navigation: Profile > General Settings > SMTP Setting for Email Notification
Populate the form using the following information:
"From" Address: This field will be used by the system when it sends emails (only for @Hosted). You can use names like voicemail@your-company.com or pbxautomailer@your-company.com.. The name will appear in the From field of the email.Account: Provide the email account for the SMTP server. Generally, this is the same as the From address.Password: This is the password for the email account.SMTP Server: This is your SMTP outgoing mail server. The system can send email messages by emulating an email client; however, it needs a mail or SMTP server to send the messages.Encryption:- TLS - If your mail server requires TLS, then use this setting
- No TLS - if you know that your mail server does not support TLS, use this setting.
⚠️
Please be aware that you will need to have knowledge of your email security protocols for this to work. If your settings are not correct, email notifications will not be able to be sent.
