ARIVE is designed to work seamlessly with various email services, with Google Gmail and Microsoft Office 365/Outlook being the most widely used.
Individual users can connect their personal email account in User Settings allowing system generated emails sent from them to come from the connected email address.
A Company Admin or an Associate Admin can connect an email at the Company Settings level allowing system generated emails generated from the organization to come from the connected email address.
Important: If an email is not connected in User Settings, the From field of the system generated emails from the user will have the user's name and sent from loans@arive.com. If an email is not connected in Company Settings, the From field of the system generated emails from the company will have the company's name and sent from loans@arive.com.
Configure Email in User Settings
1. Navigate to your profile icon in the upper right corner and click User Settings.
2. Select Email/SMS Config from the menu on the left.
3. Click Connect or Setup Now next to the applicable email service provider you are connecting.
Important:
The email application you use to view emails is not necessarily the email service provider.
For example, you can view your Google Gmail email in the Microsoft Outlook application. The email service provider would be Google Gmail in this instance.
Important:
When connecting a Microsoft or Google account, the default email account based on the login will automatically connect. The default email account is configured in your email settings with the email service provider.
If you need further assistance with configuring your default email account, you should reach out to your email service provider.
