DriveWorks Quick Tips: Setting Up An Email Server

Sending emails is a part of doing business. Sometimes it’s an email saying that a design is ready for production, other times it may be an email to a customer thanking them for their order. With DriveWorks Autopilot, these emails can be sent simply and automatically in the background, leaving you free to work on other tasks.

DriveWorks Quick Tips are a series of 1 minute videos, available on YouTube, that explain specific functionality. View all Quick Tips
