FO SMTP Setup

Lasernet Essentials does not allow using the Lasernet Email Output modules; instead, it relies on the default FO SMTP setup. Your ERP partner should know how to set up and configure the FO SMTP. However, you can also find the instructions in the following sections.

SMTP Configuration

Follow these steps to configure the FO SMTP:

1. Start by configuring your user parameters. Click the settings icon in the upper right corner and select User options.

2. Navigate to the Account tab and ensure SMTP is selected as Email Provider ID. Then, add the email address you wish to use to send emails under Sender email.

3. Navigate back to the FO homepage and then navigate to System administration > Setup > Email > Email parameters.

4. Select the Configuration tab and change the Batch email provider to SMTP. Ensure that SMTP is present under the ENABLED list and that SMTP is set to 30 email per minute.

5. Open the SMTP settings tab. Type in your SMTP SERVER INFORMATION (Outgoing mail server, SMTP port number, SSL/TLS required). If your SMTP account requires authentication, toggle the Authentication required button to Yes and type in your User name and Password.

6. Once the SMTP server has been configured, you must create a batch job for email processing. Navigate to System administration > Periodic tasks > Email distributor batch.

7. Toggle the Batch processing button to Yes and click Recurrence.

8. Configure your batch job to match your requirements. In this example, we have set it to run every minute with no end date. Then, click OK.

Whenever you send an email (manually or through a predefined setting), this enters the email queue.

Once the email is processed, the email queue looks as follows:

You can find the new batch job by navigating to System administration > Inquiries > Batch job and searching for email. The batch job will look as follows:

Email Status

It is possible to check the status of the email batch job process and the history of emails sent. Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to System administration > Setup > Email > Email parameters.

2. Select the SMTP settings tab and choose either to View email history or Batch email sending status.
