Configuring Email Approvals

You can set up an email account to receive emails from workflow participants. This allows email-based approval or rejection of workflow assignments outside of SharePoint.

To configure email approvals:

  1. Create a dedicated email account on your email server. For example, SVemail.
  2. Run the SVConfigurator to edit the sharevis.config file. (See Editing Configuration Settings for more information.)
  3. In the sharevis.config file, set the following keys (about lines 48 – 51):
