Email notifications from memoQ server
Description: E-mail notifications allow the memoQ server to send out e-mails triggered by specific actions in the application. Thus translators, reviewers and project managers can always be up-to-date about their tasks, and don't have to monitor memoQ continuously. They get an e-mail whenever they have a task to do, or information that is relevant.
Before you can set up the e-mail notifications, you need to configure the e-mail setup itself:
- In memoQ, go to Server administrator > Configuration and logging.
- Navigate to the E-mail settings tab, and enter your settings:
- If you do not know the details to connect to the SMTP server, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).
- If you know your settings (they are most likely the same as for your e-mail settings in your e-mail client):
- Server URL text box: Type the IP address or domain name of the SMTP server here.
- Authentication check box: Check this if the SMTP server requires authentication to send e-mails. If this check box is checked, you need to fill in the User name and Password text boxes too.
- Port text box: Type the TCP port where the SMTP server is listening. If the e-mail traffic is not encrypted, the standard port number is 25. In case of encrypted traffic, the port number is 465.
- SSL check box: Check this if the SMTP server requires encrypted connections to send e-mails. When you check this check box, memoQ will automatically change the port number in the Port box to 465.
- Send test e-mail to text box: Type an e-mail address where the memoQ server should send a test e-mail so that you can check if e-mail sending is operational. Click the Send test mail link to actually send a test e-mail.
- Click OK to apply your settings. You can now use the e-mail notification feature in online projects.
How to set up e-mail notificationsin an online project:
1. Open an online project for management in the memoQ online project window. Select the Settings pane, and then the Communications tab. You can set up a variety of e-mail notifications by enabling the check boxes:
You as a project manager can choose when to get notified in the General section: when a document status changes and/or a project status changes.
2. Check the check boxes in the Notification chain section when you want to inform the project participants on an action. If you check the Keep project managers on CC checkbox, you get a notification on everything, this may lead to a high amount of e-mails (depending on the kind of project you are running).
To customize the text of the e-mails: The e-mail notification texts are customizable. To customize them, open Server Administrator; connect to the memoQ server; choose Configuration and logging; and click the E-mail templates tab. There's a list of e-mail templates. To change one, select it, and click the Edit link next to it.
To send e-mails in a different language: The e-mails texts are sent out in the language you are running your memoQ server
E-mail templates are always in the same language; memoQ server can't send e-mails in several different languages.
