Email Settings for Collections Sage Intacct

In the Paystand Dashboard, it is possible to choose which email address receives invoice-related communications for Collections emails. This ensures that the right contact always receives important payment information.

Configuration options

  • Customer-level — send updates to the customer’s main email address
  • Invoice-level — send updates to a project-specific email

Understanding the “Select To Email Address” dropdown

The Select To Email Address dropdown in Collections determines which contact email will receive payment reminders.
The options displayed depend on your Fallback Email setting and how emails are assigned across the different dropdowns.

Important rules

  • The same email cannot be assigned to the Select Email Address and Fallback Email Address.

  • If an email is already selected in one dropdown, it will be automatically removed from the others.

Alert icon

Important

  • An email address can only appear in one dropdown at a time
  • The same email cannot be assigned to multiple email options; the system automatically removes it from the other email option dropdowns

How the Fallback Email affects available options

The Fallback Email acts as the default recipient when no primary or secondary email is found.
When it’s enabled, the dropdown only displays the remaining available options.

When the Fallback Email is turned on

If a value is set in the Fallback Email field, the dropdown excludes that type from the available list.

Example 1:

  • If the Fallback Email is set to Receivables Primary, the dropdown will only show Customer Primary and Customer Secondary.

  • If the Fallback Email is set to Customer Primary, the dropdown will only show Receivables Primary and Receivables Secondary.

When the Fallback Email is turned off

If the Fallback Email option is disabled, the dropdown will display all four Sage Intacct email options:

  • Customer Primary

  • Customer Secondary

  • Receivables Primary

  • Receivables Secondary

Things to know icon

Things to know

  • The Fallback Email acts as a backup recipient when no other contact email is found
  • When the Fallback Email is active, its corresponding type is excluded from the Select To Email Address dropdown
  • To view all four contact options, disable the Fallback Email setting
