Add Email Addresses for a Scenario

When a request is received at the external data email account, dspCompose™ checks the email’s subject line for a valid alias for an external request scenario. If an alias is found, dspCompose™ will then validate that the sender’s email has been added to the external request scenario.

NOTE: If the sender is an external user who is not registered in the platform, that email must be added to the platform. Refer to Add Email Addresses for External Users for more information.

NOTE: If the template associated with the external request scenario is active, no email address can be added, edited or deleted. To update or add an email address, the template must be in Developer mode. Refer to Modify an Active Template in Developer Mode for more information.

Refer to Create an External Request Scenario and Create the external request scenario that creates an Excel-initiated request for more information.
