Benefits

• A single solution manages automated messaging from different FileMaker solutions
• Easy installation and maintenance – does not require any installation on the client side
• Doesn’t use the email client on the user’s machine, so you have more control over the process after the emails have left FileMaker
• AutoSender can run on the server, or on a separate machine – it can even connect to the FileMaker server over the internet
• Ideal for integration in IWP solutions (e.g. send emails automatically when new records are created, when records have changed, etc.)
• Extensible architecture – can also be used for fax and text messaging using a third-party email-to-fax or email-to-text provider
