How to Change Owner Statement and Creditor Email Text

Overview

When emailing owner statements (in bulk) and creditor correspondence (remittances, quote and work order requests) the emails are sent automatically through REST. The outgoing email text can be customised so that a message will appear in the body of the email to suit your needs. Otherwise a default message will appear.

NOTE: This configuration is for emailing owner statements using REST and will not change the text/email if sent using fileSMART.
