Managing Email Settings in OfficePro

OfficePro enables your practice to send emails such as forms, reminders, and teasers to your patients. To effectively configure this feature, you need to set up your company's email server.

Setting Up Your Email Server

Access Email Settings:

• Go to Admin in the main navigation.
• Select General Settings.
• Navigate to the Documents & Email tab.

Enter Email Server Information:

• SMTP Server: Enter the outgoing mail server. Free email services like Gmail, Yahoo, and AOL may not work due to relaying restrictions. Use your website's domain email (e.g., smtp.sitename.com).
• Email Account: Input the email address you’ll use to send emails.
• Email Name: Specify the name or email address you want to appear in the "From" area of the email.
• My SMTP Server Requires Authentication: Check this box (most mail servers require it).
• User Name: Enter your email account username.
• Password: Input your email account password.

Test Your Email Settings:

• Click Test Email.
• If successful, you’ll see a popup stating, “Your email settings are working correctly.”
• If you see an error message, review your entries for accuracy and retest. If issues persist, contact Support@NaturaeSoft.com.

HIPAA Privacy Statement

• The HIPAA privacy statement will automatically be included at the bottom of all outgoing emails. You can use the default statement or customize it according to your practice’s HIPAA compliance manual. This section is also a good place to outline your cancellation or no-show policies.

Using Gmail with OfficePro

If you're using Gmail, follow these settings:

• SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com
• Use SSL: True
• Use Authentication: True
• Server Port: 465
• User Name: Your full Gmail address (or Google Apps for Business email account).
• Password: Your Gmail password.

Additional Gmail Security Settings

If you're having trouble connecting your Gmail account, ensure your password and other account details are correct. You may need to complete one of the following steps:

Allow Less Secure Apps:

• Enable access to less secure apps in Gmail. Follow this Google support article for guidance.

Create an Application-Specific Password:

• For added security, use an application-specific password. Review this Google support article or set one up directly here.

By following these steps, you can successfully manage your email settings within OfficePro, ensuring effective communication with your patients while adhering to HIPAA regulations. If you encounter any issues, please reach out to NaturaeSoft support for assistance.
