Email

Emails can be send manually to a crew member or messages can be generated automatically whenever a roster change is made or when you release the roster.
 
A number of settings need to be done before we can send Email.
COM channel:
 
 
Name:
Mandatory
In/Out:
Shall be OUT
Host
Details from you email provider
SSL:
SSL stands for Secured Socket Layer - basically it is a secure way of providing authentication and encryption during communication online between your computer and the mail server
User:
Sleipner
User Name & Password
User and psw to your email account
Communication type: 
Email
 
File Type:
Email
 
 
Setup parameters:
DefaultEmailSender
Default email sender, which is used when no user email is provided.
The Email sender is called the ORIGINATOR. The Email of the logged in user will be used.
EmailReceiversOnComChannelFailiure
Add emails for receivers of Com Channel failures. Separate emails with ";"
EmailReceiversOnRaidoAPIFailure
Email receivers for RaidoAPI failures
UseDefaultEmailSender
If the setting UseDefaultEmailSender is set to TRUE, Sleipner will send all outgoing e-mails from the "DefaultEmailSender" address and not the user email address  (who did the change).
 
 
 
Template:
The templates are made in the Integration factory.
 
We will make 4 templates, two for Revision notifications (Body and Header) that is used every time we make a revision. And two for Roster Releases (Body and Header) that will send an Email when you release the roster.
Revision Notification:
Step 1:
Name: Mandatory, use a descriptive name.
Data Type: Must be of type "Human Resources"
Step 2:
 
Data Element: Text
Add: This will create an empty template.
 
Template: Add the elements you want in the message. 
 
 
Follow the same process for the Header.
Roster Release:
The process is the same as for Revision Notification
 
 
 
Events:
The Events are created in the Automation factory. When an event like a roster revision happen, the Event is triggered and Sleipner will send the message to the COM and the message will go out. 
 
 
In the Events section we create our two notifications
RevisionNotification and RosterRelease
 
The way the two events are set up is the same, except for the Event type and the template.
Step 1:
Event: The system has a long list of built in events. For this exercise we use Roster REV and ROSTER PUBL
 
Datatype: Human Resources
 
Filter: None, but you could use any of the HR Filters.
 
Station: None, but you could use Station specific messages
 
Bounce message: isn't used for SMS
Step 2:

Step 3:
 
Com Channel: Email

Address: Write the Email Address types you want to include, multiple addresses can be separated by semicolon (see Email Types). The system will look after the Email type type on the crew and send the email to the corresponding email address
