  2. Open the selected module from step 1, click "Emails," select the template, and then click "New Email."

Module "Invoices" > "Edit Record"

Process Email Attachments and Relate Them to an ERP Document

This feature allows you to attach email messages to OBS ERP documents.

For example, you can send an email message with an attached document to an email address registered in OBS ERP. The system will automatically download the attachment from the email and attach it to the OBS ERP document specified in the subject of the email.

Subject format: Text Module > Record ID

  • Text - random text
  • Module - the name of the module
  • Record ID - the ID of the record in the module

Example subject: "March invoice invoices > 1"

This will attach the email to OBS ERP document #1 in the invoices module.

IMPORTANT: Only messages in the mailbox folder "ERP QUEUE" will be processed. You need to activate the ProcessERPMailbox function in the Automation module.
