Advanced E-Mail features starting from Business Central Version 17.1 (November 2020)

Task #10341 | 5057.000

Microsoft released a new email feature with Business Central version 17.1 of November 2020. This is briefly presented in this video (only available in English). We implement this feature in SwissSalary as follows:

- Business Central version 17.x (Release 2020, Wave 2) | Support for the previous solution only

- Business Central version 18.x (Release 2021, Wave 1) | Support for the previous and for the new solution

- Business Central version 19.x (Release 2021, Wave 2) | Support for the new solution only

The new feature is (activated) via ‘Feature management’, menu item: ‘Feature update: advanced email features’.

Implementation in SwissSalary:

If you click ‘Smtp mail setup’ in ‘Mail settings’, you will get to email account setup. There, the user can use ‘Navigate’ -> ‘Email scenarios’ to save SwissSalary scenario for an email account. If ‘SwissSalary’ scenario is not selected, the emails are sent using the ‘Default’ account.

Note:

We point out that the sending is unencrypted and therefore insecure. We recommend secure dispatch with SwissSalary Direct.
