Avivi's Bitrix24 SMTP module turned 2: the number of customers we helped and the things we've learned
The Avivi company operates at the IT market since 2012, and during this time, we have offered a number of solutions and various optimizations for our customer's business. We always try succeed in developing new features for Bitrix24, especially when we get the respective requests from the customers.
One of the most popular solutions was SMTP module, needed to solve issues with the use of an email service in Bitrix24. Back in the day, we've spent a month and a half on its development, during which the Avivi professionals team:
-
Conducted a large-scale data analysis;
-
We created a concept and a work plan;
-
And, in particular, developed the Module's code.
For more than 2 years now, the product successfully sells itself. That is right, as the issues it eliminates, occur in 100% of the cases of boxed Portals Bitrix24. Our solution allows users to work under the cloud principle. This means, that people have the possibility to connect an unlimited number of email services and actively use them. The emails from the CRM Marketing, as well as from Bitrix24 robots, are sent out directly from the email of the specific sender, and not from the main Portal's email address. Thus, neither the users, nor the customers, will notice the difference between the cloud and the box editions.
TOP questions asked by the customers before the installation:
1. Will it work for sure?
There was not a single box edition where the module would not work.
2. Will the module still operate after the Bitrix24 update?NO! Bitrix24 updates do not influence our module in any way.
3. What is the module installation procedure?Our professionals independently install the module on your box. If, for some reasons, you are not able to provide access to the portal, we will prepare you a file with the installation instruction.
4. What are the accesses needed for the installation?Admin accesses to the portal, as well as SSH.
5. How to use the module?No special actions are needed. We used Bitrix24 methods exclusively, so nothing will change at all.
There is a number of issues we face that do not allow us to install the module quickly.
The reasons that will definitely cause the issues:
2. The most common issue is when one email address is assigned to two or more contacts, i.e. several users are registered with the same email address.
You can't do that. If several people need to have access to the mailbox, it's advised to simply share login and password.
3. Changing the IP-address. In this case, the product will stop operating, for sure, as it uses one of the authentications connected to the records in the database. ID-address change will immediately renew the working capacity.
As you see, out SMTP module is not demanding, operates properly and almost never breaks. However, if something goes wrong, there will be no difficulties for the Avivi professionals to switch everything back, so that you will be able to use email without any interruptions in Bitrix24.
The on-premise Bitrix24 allows inclusion in the system additional elements that solve specific tasks and expand functionality. The SMTP module is developed specifically to solve the problem of connecting your own mailboxes, so it has advantages over other possible methods. In this article, we will show why the module is always more effective and profitable for Portal owners.
The digital signature of documents is becoming an everyday phenomenon and is legally no different from a real stroke of a pen in a document. It is natural that the use of digital signatures can also be applied to Bitrix24. In this article, we will talk about a ready-made case of creating a functionality for the electronic confirmation of documents of one of Aviva's clients. Of course, we can create our own functionality of a similar direction just for you.
If you personally or an HR need a notification about a certain number of days worked by a new employee, such a function in Bitrix24, at first glance, can be easily configured by yourself. But in reality, the administrator will not be able to do this, since the system has certain features. The Avivi team has completed a similar task and is happy to share their experience in this article.
