If the labor is rescheduled a meeting request will be sent to the tech with the updated day/time

Incoming Emails to Order

You can provide your customers with an email address and when they email that address, a service order can be created in SME. The person emailing you must be in SME as a contact for a company. The contact should have the email address. SME will match the email address the email is sent from and create the order for the contact and company for that email.

The subject line goes to the Order summary
The body of the email goes to Services Requested
The company and contact are filled out based on the email address the email came from.

You will need to let High5 support (support@h5sw.com) know what email address you want your customers to email to generate orders.
