Please find the “Domain settings” button in the menu dedicated to email accounts. By clicking on the button you can provide the details. In the “Email service provider” list you can find the most popular choices (including Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook), but you can also choose the “Others” option. Doing so allows you to add any provider that supports IMAP protocols.

Email Accounts

You can add email accounts to Anvert by clicking the "Add Email Account" or "Generic Email Accounts" button in the Email Account menu.
The difference between the two is that Generic Email Accounts are the technical accounts that belong to the company, but we don’t want to download their mailbox and we don’t even want to sign in with them (e.g., hello at company dot com). The simplest examples of such accounts are mailing lists, which are used to automatically forward incoming email to multiple email addresses. Clicking on the “Add email account” allows you to register the email address and the username, coupled with the password to ensure seamless access to the messages. The “Testing” buttons help you check whether the credentials are correct. You also have to decide which incoming or outgoing folders you wish to have access to. You can select these in the dropdown menus titled “Incoming” and “Outgoing”. Once you’re finished with all the steps, click on the Save button.
The login name must be entered in the "Login name" field in the form username@domain or domain\username for Windows logins.
How can I add an email account to Anvert
How can I add an email account to Anvert
There are two ways to add multiple email accounts. From the "Email Accounts" menu, click on "Bulk Email Account Import" in the top right corner to access the interface. Once you know the password associated with the email accounts, select "Add email accounts with password" under the Upload type, then download the associated template spreadsheet so that you can connect all email accounts to Anvert at once by filling it out and then uploading it. And without knowing the passwords, select "Send invitations" in the Upload type and by downloading and filling in the corresponding template table, you can send a bulk invitation so that your colleagues can connect to their email accounts. In a spreadsheet, you can only add email accounts belonging to the same domain to Anvert at the same time. Parameters marked with an asterisk in the table specify a default value that can be overridden by individual rows in the import template. Once you have selected the spreadsheet you filled out to upload, you can click Import to add it to Anvert to complete the process.

Click on the "Generic Email Accounts" button to enter the email address of the account or a username of your choice. When you're done, click "Save."
In this case, some of the fields contain incorrect information. It’s recommended to check your domain settings, and whether IMAP access is enabled at your email provider.

Emails

Deleting anything in Anvert won’t affect any email accounts. Any interaction to message threads is exclusive to Anvert’s internal system.
First, make sure "Domain Settings" under Email Accounts is set up correctly. Next, check your account information as well. Click the "Edit" button in the row for that account and click the "Test" button.
Anvert groups together your company’s incoming and outgoing messages into coherent message threads, therefore it can differentiate Replied and Idle/Pending emails. This is the main pillar of Anvert, and one of the key features of our service. The Replied category is a group where one of your employees has provided an answer to the client’s previous message. The Idle/Pending category is a group where none of your employees has provided an answer to the client’s previous message.
Select the corresponding message thread and then click one the “Close thread” or “Delete thread” buttons that appear on the upper right side of the screen.
In this case, the message thread is only deleted in Anvert’s system, the original emails remain available on the server.

Filters

In order to properly segment and categorize your incoming emails, you may create filters. Filters can be set up in the Account menu. New filters are added by clicking on the “New filters'' button, where you are able to apply a filter to the following attributes of an incoming email:

  • The sender’s email address
  • The sender’s name
  • A specific domain
  • Subject line
Regarding the above mentioned attributes, you can further specify when the filter should be applied:
  • At the beginning: the filter is only applied if the attribute starts in a specific way.
  • At the end: the filter is only applied if the attribute ends in a specific way.
  • Contain: the filter is applied if the attribute features a specific text.
  • Equivalent: the filter is only applied if the attribute features the exact text that was specified.
  • Non-equivalent: the filter is applied unless the attribute features the exact text that was specified.
You may apply more sophisticated filters by clicking on the + sign to create complex rules. Once you have filled out all the information, simply save it. Please keep in mind that you should only add conditions that are applicable to the messages you plan to filter.

Filters are also applicable while reading a message thread. In this case the system automatically fills the filter with the message thread’s details, thus supporting the conditions for the filtering.

Anvert Automatically filters out any message that’s deemed as a promotion. This way Anvert keeps your incoming email lists clean and focused, therefore improving the viewability and accuracy of your statistics. Naturally, you have the option to create custom filters.

The dashboard is the main hub for these reports and performance indexes, offering an easy-to-understand overview for the facts and trends behind the numbers.
Use the main Dashboard to analyze the performance of your whole company, a specific team or just a single individual by using relevant filters.
