Memaila Setup

Overview

Memaila lets your customer service team manage support requests from multiple channels in one place. It provides a unified team inbox for multiple team members with built-in productivity tools. The team inbox can be connected to your existing customer care email address or use a Memaila-hosted email address. Customer support requests come into the team inbox as threads and are assigned to team members. Each support thread can be assigned to a single team member at a time.

Connecting Memaila to Sellercloud allows you to import customer emails about orders from any channel as support threads, as long as you have their sending email address on a Customer in Sellercloud. Recent related information, such as orders, RMAs, and other details, will also be imported into the thread. If your team email is set up for customer inquiries and direct messaging on Amazon and eBay’s messaging systems, such notifications will also be imported into Memaila as threads.

As a Memaila administrator, you have various settings and tools to ensure efficient assignment and processing of customer inquiries. For example, you can create custom workflows to automate tasks based on certain conditions. Moreover, Memaila’s reporting features provide transparency into the team’s productivity and performance.

This article explores Memaila’s key features and provides a step-by-step guide to help you get started.

    1. If you selected Sellercloud, you must fill out these fields:
      1. Team Name – Your Sellercloud team name.

        If you don’t know your team name or your company doesn’t have one yet, contact Sellercloud Support.

      6. Cancel Picked order on Cancellation email – Place orders on hold regardless of their Picking status; even Fully Picked orders can be placed on hold.
      7. Customer Email (to test integration) – Enter a customer email address to see if the details you entered above are valid, then click Test Integration.
      8. Sync from a specific date – Enter a specific date from which to start syncing the integration.

  8. You will see this page confirming that the forwarding has been enabled.

Connect an Existing Email

If you’ve chosen to Connect existing email account, follow these steps next:

In this example, we connect a Gmail email address, which uses OAuth to establish a secure connection. Because of this, after you enter your email address, you will be redirected to a Google sign-in page to authenticate yourself and grant Memaila access to your account. Other email providers may not offer this security feature and allow you to connect just by entering your IMAP and SMTP server details. Check with your email provider for your server details.
  1. Enter your existing E-mail and click Next.
  2. More fields will appear – these are the keys for Memaila to connect to your email:
    1. Email Host – Choose the host from the dropdown.

      If you choose Other, you must manually populate the IMAP and SMTP Host fields below.
    2. Enter the IMAP Host and IMAP Port
    3. Enter the SMTP Host and SMTP Port
    4. Enter a Mailbox Folder to send Memaila emails to a specific folder in the connected account’s inbox.
    5. Enter the email address you want the team to Send From.
    6. The Memaila Reference field auto-populates as your team email without the @ sign. For example, [email protected] becomes salesyourcompanycom. This is used to forward the emails from your team mailbox to your forwarding email address. If this email already exists in the system, you may have to enter a different name.
    7. When done, click Test Connection to cross-check the input information and confirm that Memaila can access the email address.
    8. If you entered a Gmail email address, click Sign in with Google. Otherwise, you will just have to click Next, and then continue these instructions from step 7. Steps 3-6 are only for Gmail accounts.
  3. Select the account to connect.
  4. If you encounter this message, click Advanced.
  5. Then click Go to Memaila.com.
  6. Click Allow.
  7. To forward messages sent to the connected email address to specific team members, select them under Group Members Email Accounts. Alternatively, select None to disable forwarding to individual team members’ personal mailboxes.
    Click Advanced Options.
