Weekly Tips: Customize alerts from your Priority Users

Weekly Tips: Customize alerts from your Priority Users

You might receive hundreds of emails daily, but messages from your manager, clients, or team leads often require immediate attention, as they may contain urgent requests or critical updates. How would you ensure you never miss important messages from these priority contacts?

                                             

To ensure you don’t miss these important emails amid the clutter, you can set up notifications in Zoho Mail specifically for these Priority Users

Priority Users

By adding your list of Priority Users, you can ensure whenever someone from the list sends you an email, you get an instant alert whether on your phone or desktop, allowing you to respond quickly and stay on top of urgent matters without being overwhelmed by less important emails.

Add Priority Users

  1. Log in to Zoho Mail.
  2. Go to Settings > Notification > Priority Users.
  3. Navigate to the Manage Priority Users section.
  4. Select the Priority access for specific members checkbox. 
  5. Search and add your organization members using the search bar.
Once added, you will receive notifications for any emails originating from the users added here as priority users, regardless of the other notification configurations you have set.

Note:
  • You can only add organization members as priority users.
  • Notification preferences set in the priority section take precedence over all the notification configurations set within Zoho Mail.

This creates a new message in the Ticket thread that not only pollutes the thread, but most importantly cannot be replied properly because usually auto-reply e-mails don't do "reply all", so the other recipients are not included. I want to delete such a message in the Ticket thread. I searched the help of Zoho Desk, but only found a way to mark as Spam (https://help.zoho.com/portal/kb/articles/marking-support-tickets-as-spam)

So now, the incorrect check is showing as un-reconciled. Is there any way I can edit a previous reconciliation (this is 7 months ago) so I can adjust the check that was reconciled? The amounts are exactly the same and it won't change my ending balance.

                                                                                                                  It would be very helpful to have a "Company Name" field in the Additional Address shipping section.  In a situation where you drop-ship orders to a different address or different company entirely, it may be necessary to list the company name of the receiver. I understand that the Attention field can be used for that purpose, but that's not really the intended purpose of that field.

                                                                                                                  I understand that Zoho Creator provides localization support for UI elements such as field labels and static text. I would like to know: Does Zoho Creator support automatic translation of user-entered data (for example, form inputs or stored records)

Or maybe when creating the task make attachements visible, so you can add an attachement while creating the task? Looking forward to your response!
