8) Email Importing and Email Sending Use 

Email Sending and/or Email importing are features that can be enabled for your SAM site by a SAM Lead or other User. 

When enabled, SAM acts as an email client by connecting to your email provider using the credentials Users provide. All emails sent out are using your email provider. Email importing allows users to record communications that transpired between a User and a record in SAM.

  • Policies set by your email provider 

  • Using the email functions to send out spam or unsolicited messages 

  • Email sending features are not to be used as an email marketing solution
