Release Notes

15/08/2023 - Major improvements and bugfixes

The 'Built-in evaluation SMTP' was deactivated from August 2023 onwards.
In case you were actively using this connection, please create a custom Outgoing Mail Connection as soon as possible, otherwise your emails won't be sent.
Already failed emails may be found in the error queue and can be re-sent after fixing the configuration.

What's new

The new Visual Mail Handler Editor

Check out the brand new visual mail handler editor. It is an intuitive, fast, and beautiful user interface on top of your existing and new mail handlers. Build your email processing logic via this visual interface and understand the rules at a glance. Switch back and forth between the classic and the new UI to feel the difference.

Support for Service Management Approvals in the Mail Handler

Approve or decline service requests via email. The new Approve and Decline actions in the mail handlers allow the designated approvers to make their decisions and respond via email. Approve or decline? Simply extract the decision from the email itself.
