If an email to a customer cannot be delivered, a rejection email will be received. Please verify that the email was entered correctly and that the customer checked their spam folder. Please contact support if the issue cannot be resolved with the above steps.
Text Message Settings
The text messaging feature notifies customers of evaluation and installation appointments. The setting within Company Profile must be enabled for text messages to be sent.
Additionally, customers must have a phone number listed in the system as 'cell phone (text Opt-in)' to receive text messages.
