Outlook Rules Wizard
When you or your Webmaster are enabling your Web pages with interaction
capability you are creating a link to a specific e-mail address. With Multimedia
Module, that link directs an e-mail to a group mailbox that can be accessed by
anyone in the organization authorized to respond to correspondence arriving in
that queue. However, if you want to layer-in conditions for routing that go
beyond the Send To criteria, you can invoke the Rules Wizard supplied with
Outlook.
Microsoft Outlook is equipped with its own Rules Wizard designed for personal
e-mail management. Referred to as either Rules Wizard or Inbox Assistant in
Outlook, it is possible to apply additional functionality to Multimedia Module’s
groupware enabled routing in conjunction with the Resource Manager
administration module.
You can use the Outlook Rules Wizard to create auto-replies sent with
customized attachments and forward messages to specific queues based on
message or subject content, sender’s address, or “send to” address. Or you can
create rules based on a combination of those or other supported criteria. For
example, you can create a rule that forwards an e-mail addressed to Tech.
Support to the sales queue if it contains the word “price” in either the subject or
body of the message. Or, e-mails addressed to Marketing requesting a
brochure can be fulfilled automatically without human intervention. Other rules
can specify that e-mails that include a range of account numbers can be
channeled to queues staffed by representatives to whom those account
numbers have been assigned. You can forward e-mails from one queue to
another based on date. E-mails destined for technical support on weekends can
be directed to customer service. Routing can be either simple or complex
dictated by the rule requirements of your business.
After specifying the conditions for modifications in the routing, you determine
the treatment based on the e-mail address of the queue you have designated in
Resource Manager.
