Overview
Overview
Keep your customers in the loop and avoid them calling your team for updates. This alert sends an automated confirmation email to your customer for the supply order just placed. Not only will this provide even better customer service, but it will also save your staff some phone calls! We also give you the option to send these notifications to a fixed Helpdesk email address each time.
Note: This alert will still send a notification even when an order is on credit hold. The purpose of this alert is to let the customer know you received and placed their order. The customer is not notified by this alert of their credit status. That will still be up to your AR rep to resolve.
As with all of our customer-facing alerts, we will install this in Test Mode until you review and let us know you are ready to start sending it to your customer (Live Mode).

Alert Functionality
Alert Functionality
-Alert will send if order is open or shipped. But if order is fulfilled before our alert fires, then we will not be able to send notice of order confirmation.
Who to send to?
Who to send to?
When setting up this alert, you can select whether to send to all ordered by contacts or only a set help desk contact via Variable Z. You may want to only send to a fixed contact OR to the contact listed in the "Ordered by" field of the sales order OR both.
Variable Z=Enter 'Suppress' or 'NotSuppress'
Suppress turns off sending to ALL "Ordered by" contacts (listed on sales order) and will only send to the help desk contact.
Not Suppress will send to ALL "Ordered by" contacts listed on the sales order who qualify based on the order type(s) listed in Variable1 and any help desk contacts that are set on the customer record.
The "Ordered by" field is here:
Remember this 'Ordered by' contact must have a valid email address in the contact's record.
If you have a contact who wants to also receive the email notice regardless of who placed the order, then use Custom Property ZCJOrderConfHelpDesk on the customer record to assign that contact record.
**Please note, for alerts versions prior to 20211227, this fixed contact will only receive IF there is also an 'Ordered by' contact on the sales order.**
This custom property is set on the customer record:
Opt-Out
How to Opt-Out Customers from Receiving the Alert:
1. To turn the alert off for all of the customer's contacts, set the custom property ZCJOrderConfToOrderedBy on the customer record to 'Disable'. This will turn off the tracking details email for all orders for this customer. Note: the alert will only consider this custom property for the customer set as the customer on the sales order (see screenshot above) and does NOT consider the bill to or parent customer.
2. To turn off the alert for a specific contact, add the contact category ZCJDNSShipConf to the contact's record:

Since this a customer-facing alert, we strongly recommend that the from email address for the alert comes from one of your department emails your customer can reply to (i.e. supplies@ OR customerservice@). We can make that change on your subscription, but please make sure the CEO Juice user has "Send As" permission to send as that email address, otherwise no emails will send out. Please see THIS POST on setting those permissions up.
