[Wactclc-alma] Email Tool

[Bem, Greg]

Does anyone have any information about my questions regarding how to edit the actual form?

The biggest issue is not being able to identify who sent the email.

EXTERNAL SENDER: Use caution with links and attachments
________________________________
Dan is correct. If you log into Primo, you can add a note to a citation that you email.

Attached is an example of a citation I sent myself from LWTech Primo.

I think the email looks pretty good, actually.

It does not include the most complete citation info. But the main point of the email, I would say, is to send the link to the record in Primo. So, you’re only a click away from the full citation from the source.

Regarding Dan’s info about the emails not being delivered because of differences in apparent vs actual email source, that’s an easily solvable issue if you run into it. Just let me know if these emails aren’t getting delivered in your environment.

CAUTION: Originated outside our network. Do not click links or open attachments unless you validate the sender.

I don't know so much about the sender name, but if you sign in to Primo before sending a record you can attach a note.

I remember this tool being a huge headache because of how the SMTP server was configured. I can't remember specifics but I know it had to do with receiving email servers rejecting the message outright because sender and identity information didn't match up.

Hi there!

We noticed that sending an email using Primo’s Email tool only provides a few pieces of metadata regarding the record in question.

Is it possible to expand the form to include other information? Specifically a sender name and a note would be useful.

Thanks!

Greg
