Approval Manager can send email notifications itself or using an SMTP Server that will accept email messages generated by Approval Manager for delivery to recipient addresses.

To specify how Approval Manager handles email notifications:

1. Click the Email Notifications link in the Administration tab to open the Email Notifications page, if it is not already open.

2. Scroll down to the Outgoing Email Setup section of the Email Notifications page.

3. Select either the Approval Manager 2012 will send email itself or Approval Manager 2012 will send email using SMTP server options.

• If you choose to the SMTP option, a form will appear. Type the address of the SMTP Server in the SMTP Server Address field of the form.

4. Send a test email to verify that the selected SMTP server will send email from Approval Manager. See Sending Test Emails for additional information.

5. Continue with the other procedures described on this page or click Save to save the changes.

Note: Email notifications will not begin to be sent until the MetaSQLMail SQL Server job is started.
