Inviting External Senders

Steps 1 and 2 describe how to configure your Faspex Server to allow inviting external senders. If you have already configured Faspex Server, skip Steps 1 and 2.

1. Navigate to the "Outside email addresses" section from Server > Configuration > Security.

   

2. Select the checkbox labeled "Allow inviting external senders:" and set the Default to "Allow".
   When set to Allow, all Faspex users will be able to invite external senders by default. An Administrator can enable or disable this feature for specific users from the Accounts > [Username] page, while still retaining the server-wide setting of allowed or denied.

The following steps describe how to invite an external sender to send your account a package.

3. Navigate to the Faspex Received menu and select the Invitations link at the top of the page.
   On the Invitations screen, you will see any invitations that you have already sent, as well as a link to Invite Outside Email.

   
   
   

4. Click on the New link to send an invitation.

   
   
   

5. Enter the outside sender's email address and choose a submission link rule.

   
   
   

   The submission link rules include the following:

   • Delete the submission link after one successful upload
   • Delete the submission link on a specific date (which you will need to input)
   • Never delete the submission link as long as the inviter (you) exists or until the sender is removed from the invitation list.

The user will then receive an email from Faspex, along with a submission link, so that he or she can send you a package (i.e. perform an upload). You can view all your invitations by going back to Received > Invitations.

Here, you can perform the following operations:

• You can resend the submission link.
• You can delete the invitation (which removes the sender from this list and prevents them from using the submission link).
• You can see the URL (submission link) that has been sent to the user.
