Set-up email integration (email in)

Hello,

First, click on the site settings on the home page (new sites can skip this step.  It is turned on at the site level for you):

Once you are in site settings, you'll need to enable email in for the site:

Check the box to turn it on:

Now that you've turned it on for your site, you'll need to turn it on for each group where you want to use it.  Click into a group to turn it on (FAQ on the screen shot below):

 Then go into the group settings for the group:

Then go into the setting for email and web address:

Finally, turn it on for this group.  You can also see what the email address is for this particular group:

Each group in your site will have a unique email address.  The format is always [groupname].[yoursite]@mailgroupswim.com

The default for email-in is to allow managers only.  This means someone needs to be a group manager in order to email in to a group.  You can either go with this setting and make sure you promote anyone to manager of a group who you want to use it.

Or, you can change the setting for the site to allow anyone to email-in.  In this case, you'll need to go back into the site settings (see the first step up top).  Then, go into the privacy and permissions settings:

Finally, you'll need to chose the "Custom" option and change the "Post via email" setting to Group site members:

As always, please let us know if you have any questions or feedback.  Thanks.
