YayPay is able to house all incoming and outgoing communication with your customers allowing you to have one centralized place to view all relevant information.

Email Reminders 

The 'EMAIL REMINDERS' tab lists email messages sent out and received per customer. 

You can perform a Search to refine the messages shown on the Communications page by:

• Customer name
• Subject
• Email body
• Sender email
• Recipient email

 Also, you can use the filter dropdown, or search for messages within a date range. 

Each email has a status associated with it in YayPay:

• Sent - A message was sent to your recipient (this message could have been sent via a scheduled workflow action or manually)
• Viewed - The recipient opened the message
• Replied - The recipient replied to the email message (the email message would be found in the inbox of your AR mailbox, and also in YayPay)
• Bounced - An attempt was made to send the email to the recipient's email address, however, no such recipient was found
• New - New emails read from your AR mailbox into the YayPay platform, You can then mark the emails as read or unread (this update/change applies only in YayPay, and not the same email in your AR mailbox)

• Error - Email was not sent.  
  The most typical errors are caused by:
  • Password authentication issues, preventing YayPay from connecting to your email host server:
  • Missing customer contact information:

To resend an email after fixing all issues, click Send Again located at the bottom of the email window.See Send Again.

• Customer Replied (status for inbound emails) - Assigned to an email when the "From" field of an inbound message has been matched to the contact associated or assigned to the customer in YayPay. The "Customer Replied" status can be also used as a filter.
  Use your Aging Report to identify customers that may have missing billing contacts to make sure the communications can be sent properly.

Email labels

Email labels are used for categorizing and managing emails by priority and actions required. With the help of labels, you can perform quick actions when working on emails while staying on the Communications page.  

Email labels are received from the ML module or assigned by the user himself (only inbound emails).

Inbound emails labels

The labels are displayed both in the list of available emails and in the expanded view of the selected email. One email can have 0 to 3 labels. On hover over the label there is a standard tooltip with probability percentage, calculated by ML module:

There also is a "Are labels relevant?" option displayed in the email with at least one label assigned: you confirm that all labels are relevant by clicking it.

Assign/Remove a label

Adding a label to an inbound email or deleting an assigned label is available from the expanded view. 

- to remove a label, click on its "cross" icon

- to assign a label, click "Add New Label +"
