Introduction
Call Notification E-mails or E-mail Alerts can be sent out for a range of calls your business receives. To enable call notification e-mails, please review this setup guide. If you would prefer to only receive email notifications for calls that you have not received (Missed and Busy) you can follow the instructions here.
Layout
Delacon offers two layout types of call notification e-mails - HTML and plain text. All existing clients that started with Delacon prior to July 2019 will, by default, have the plain text call notification e-mails, while all customers that started after July 2019 will have the HTML e-mails. You can make all configurations in the Delacon portal and select the e-mail type that is most suitable for you. Both types of e-mails are available to all clients.
In both the plain text and HTML e-mails, there are 5 separate templates for the 5 different types of phone calls: Answered; Missed (Voicemail left); Missed (No Voicemail left); Busy (Voicemail left); Busy (No Voicemail left).
Configuration
To change the layout of the call notification e-mails, please navigate to Configuration > Email Alerts or click on this direct link: https://pla.delaconcorp.com/siteui/configuration/emailconfig
Below guides will take you through the steps to customise the e-mail layout and content for the call notification e-mails.

Section 1: HTML email template setup and configuration
For all customers that started with Delacon after July 2019, a HTML email template will automatically be generated for every call, providing you with a recording of the call as well as relevant caller and tracking details. There are 5 separate emails for the 5 different types of phone calls: Answered; Missed (Voicemail left); Missed (No Voicemail left); Busy (Voicemail left); Busy (No Voicemail left). We recommend that you set up email alerts for all scenarios. The default emails will go to whichever email address you have in your configuration. To check, please Login->Menu->Services-> select Service ID-> Edit and the selected email (s) will appear under the field labelled "Notification Email". If you would like to disable this service for all notification other than missed and busy calls, you will need select "Enable" on this very same page.
For all clients that started with Delacon before July 2019, these HTML templates are also available to you by following the steps below. Alternatively you can watch this quick video.
HTML email alerts are simple to set up, once you login to the Delacon Portal, go to ->Services-> Email Configuration Service-> Select "Copy Default Template" and submit for all email types. The template will then be active and ready for you to use.
Step 1
Email From: This is the email address that the email will be sent from. This does not have to be your business email address, and to avoid being classified as Spam, the delaconcorp.com or whitelabel domain must be used.
Email to: This is the email addresses that the email will be sent to. You can set up the receiving email addresses for each CID by going to Menu -> Services -> List Services -> Edit -> Notification Emails.
Step 2
You can either copy the default template or input your own HTML if you have your own internal HTML template that you would prefer to use. There are 5 separate default Delacon templates for the 5 different types of calls.
To copy all default templates at the same time, please press the "Copy Default HTML Templates" Alternatively you can choose which templates you would like copied by checking the boxes as shown below. Please click save to save all changes.

If you have previously uploaded a business logo to the Delacon Portal, the logo will automatically appear in the HTML template. If you do not have a logo uploaded, you will need to upload it and insert the exact image name as shown in the image above.
Delacon’s HTML emails have a quality rating, meaning if you are a directory, your clients will have the ability to rate the call out of 5 based on quality. This will enable you to gather important data from your clients about the quality and success of the call. You can see the result in the Call Log History by going to menu->call log-> detailed call log
You can search for the call rating specifically by dropping down the call section in the call log summary as you may not have a rating for every call.
These emails give you instant access to your recordings and call data, whilst also providing relevant caller and tracking details, and the ability to rate the call based on its quality. It’s the quickest and simplest way to access data in one place and make sure you can track all your calls and never miss a lead.
