Messaging

Marketplace Messaging allows Marketplaces to email their Businesses within Redbox Management.

In order to use Marketplace Messaging, you are required to configure your DNS settings. Please see the DNS Configuration guide.

This feature can only be accessed by a Partner, Marketplace Owner, Marketplace Admin and Marketplace User. See User Access Level for more information.

How to Set up Marketplace Messaging

How to locate the Messaging Templates: Redbox Management → Marketplaces → Select a Marketplace → Messaging Templates

Once on the ‘Messaging Templates’ page:

Go to Redbox management and navigate to your marketplace.
Select the ‘Message Templates’ tab.
Under Marketplace Messaging Sender, you will need to add a sender's name.
For example: If you add ‘hello' as the sender's name and the marketplace CNAME is set to 'myMarketplace.co.uk’ when the outlet owner receives your email, the sender will be ‘hello@messaging.myMarketplace.co.uk’
Select Save.
Select the DNS tab.
Copy each name and value pair from the Messaging DNS table to your domain provider. If you are unsure how to configure your DNS settings, please read the DNS configuration guide. - Once these records have been added, and the Verification Status displays your Marketplace Messaging is now configured.
Navigate to Messaging tab from the main navigation.
You will see a list of your marketplaces that have Business Messaging set up. If you only have one marketplace you will be taken directly to the inbox.
