Updated over 2 years ago

What is it #

In setting up a Mission you can choose also to create a unique email address to add ideas by mail to this Mission.

1. Go to the Admin Studio
2. Open the Mission
3. Go to the tag Integrations:

Features #

• The FROM email address will be used as the CREATOR of the idea.
• The SUBJECT of the mail will be used as the idea’s TITLE.
• The BODY of the mail will be used as DESCRIPTION of the idea.
• ATTACHMENT of the mail will be used as FILES connected to the idea.
• The first IMAGE as ATTACHMENT will be used as the IMAGE of the idea.

Use cases #

• External Form to submit ideas – You create a FORM that submits the values to an mail address
• Integration – Build an integration to add ideas into Accept Mission.
• Offline idea submission – Invite people to submit ideas offline
• Invite external users to submit ideas. You can also invite user outside your organization into the platform but this is an alternative way.

Security #

Take good notice of the security. These rules always apply:

• The user (from address) needs to be in the system as valid-user
• Only users who are allowed In the Mission can add ideas via mail
• The email needs to be set up following the general email guidelines.

Notification #

As a user (FROM address) you will always receive an email notification:

• Successful – You mail is been added to the Mission as a new idea
• Failed – The mail could not be added to the Mission. Most of the time this is a security reason.
