How to email from Quickbooks and other applications

Emailing from QuickBooks, Sage, Misys and other Applications


General Guidelines

gotomyerp has tight security around all incoming and outgoing traffic, and will require a request from all clients with pertinent information, to allow email traffic through the firewall. 

Please note that by default, ports 587 is open, as most service providers use this ports. There is no need to submit a ticket as outlined in the below section if your email provider uses these ports for sending. 


Please check some of these common issues that clients typically deal with when emailing:
  1. If your organization uses an in-house email system, for example, Exchange, Kerio server, Lotus notes etc..., and you are using a self-signed certificate, Quickbooks email will not recognize that certificate, and will fail to send email (by repeatedly popping up with the password prompted when trying to email). Please make sure your email system has an SSL certificate that is issued by a known Certificate Authority,  that is recognized by common browsers. Self-Signed certificates are not supported.
  2. Quickbooks mail will require entering a password on the first attempt to send an email via Quickbooks For this reason, "Alias", "Distribution Group" mailboxes will not work with Quickbooks email. 
    For example: If you have an email: billing@yourcompany.com, and all incoming mail to billing@yourcompany.com gets delivered to multiple users' mailboxes, there is a good chance that this email will not work as the "FROM" email within Quickbooks. If you would like to use this email to send from Quickbooks, please create an actual user mailbox for billing@yourcompany.com
    Several methods are available at that point (beyond the scope of this article) to allow forwarding of mail to multiple users.
  3. If you have 2-factor authentication used on the mailbox in question, you will need to generate an application-specific password to use. The primary password for that mailbox will not work. Please refer to your email provider's instructions on generating application-specific passwords.

Configure email from QuickBooks

QuickBooks 2021 or newer

You will need an Intuit ID to be able to email from QuickBooks. You will be prompted during the setup process for your Intuit ID; If you do not have one, you can create one.
For Office 365 you will also need the ability to "consent to apps" enabled or you may receive an error on Step 4. You may need to check with your IT on these settings Managing user consent to apps in Microsoft 365 - Microsoft 365 admin | Microsoft Docs
  1. Go to Edit --> Prefrences --> Send Form --> click on "Add"
  2. Select your email provider and enter your email in the "Email Id" field. Make sure that "Enhanced Security (Recommended)" is checked off.

  3. Log into your Intuit account when prompted. If you are already logged into your Intuit account you will not be prompted.

  4. Log into your email account. (Office 365 shown below, you will be prompted by Google to login if using a Gmail or Google Workspaces email account)
  5. Click on "Accept" when prompted to give QuickBooks access to your email. (Office 365 shown below, you will be prompted by Google to allow access if using a Gmail or Google Workspaces email account)
     
If the above is not working, we suggest you sign out of you Intuit account in your QuickBooks and then try the above steps again, and login to Intuit account while following the above steps

If you are subscribed to Office 365 through GoDaddy, you may receive the below message.
You will need to contact GoDaddy support to assist in setting the correct security settings in your Office 365.


QuickBooks older than 2021

Configure email for Sage 100

Sage 100 2021.4 or newer

For Email providers using Basic Authentication

Please click on the below link to fill out the SMTP information.

For Office365

Sage 100 versions, newer than 2021.4 (PU4) already support Modern Authentication. The below Sage article outlines how to setup Office 365 and Sage to use OAuth. This will require administrator permissions in your Office 365 and must be completed by your IT.

For the "Redirect URI" Please use http://localhost instead of the documented https://localhost. In our testing we have found that https://localhost does not work.
In Office365: 
In Sage:

Sage 100 2021.3 or older

What to do if you are still unable to email.

Submit a ticket with the below information.
