Email Contracts New Share Column
10/4/2017


To Watch This Video Click Here



In this quick minute video we will introduce you to this enhanced feature, which is sure to Save You Time! when you are Integrated (linked) with another CTMeContracts Agent.

If you would like a personal email message to accompany the document(s) you are sharing or allowing access to, then this is your solution.

You will find the SHARE Column under the Email Contracts link in your Detail Transaction View.

The trick is that you will need to put a check in the box of at least one document under the Email column for both the personal email message and documents to share correctly.

NOTE: Always double check that you completed this feature correctly by clicking on the Messages link found on the Detailed Dashboard and review the Date/Time Stamped message(s) sent.

This feature allows you to send a secure link for 24/7 document access, to your clients or any associated participant to a transaction.

We have enhanced the security of this feature. Now, when you un-check the box not to include the password , you will provide an additional level of safety by texting or calling your client with their generated password.

Participants will be able to access complete transaction information such as eContracts docs/DOCUMENTS, PDF docs , eCalendar and eContact Sheet from one single screen. Therefore, you won`t have to send separate emails for your client to access eContracts docs, PDF Files/other files in Docs Management, the eContact Sheet and the eCalendar.

When you order title, you can now select which documents the title company can access.
You can add or remove documents at any time, even after the order has been sent.

click to watch video Click to open video tutorial
Now, when you email documents to a transaction Docs Management Folder, you no longer need the subject line, just the email address.

3) In the Docs Management Folder each document will indicate who emailed the documents.

4) The upload speed has increased tremendously. Now when you send docs, they will get uploaded right away.

5) You can send an unlimited number of docs with a max of 50Mb per email.
