Settings for email conversation

Settings that you can configure for all the users of email conversation are provided on the Email Conversation Settings page.

You can configure multiple email addresses from which staff members can select one email address that appears in the From field of an email message that they send from a record. For example, assume that you are using BMC Remedyforce to provide service to multiple groups or clients, such as Human Resource and Finance departments. If you configure multiple from email addresses, such as HR@abc.com and Finance@abc.com, the staff members of the HR department can select HR@abc.com while sending an email message from a record. Also, the staff members of the Finance department can select Finance@abc.com while communicating with their clients.

1. Click the Remedyforce Administration tab.
2. On the Home page, click the Configure Email tile, and from the menu, select Email Conversation Settings.
3.  From the From email address field, select the required organization-wide email address.
   The email addresses that you have configured as organization-wide email addresses are available in the From email address field. To configure the organization-wide email addresses, see Defining organization-wide email address.
   The selected organization-wide email address sends all outbound email messages from your organization. This email address appears in the From field of all email messages sent to clients. It also appears in the From field of all notification email messages.
