How To Use The Email Feature – FOTO MASTER

Hello, everyone!

This article will explain to you how to use the Email feature with the Mirror Me software.

1. In the Workflow tab, add a Feature state > select: Email.

2. Place the Email feature state after the Save Final Photo feature state (and before the Printing feature if you're using the Print Copies/Print Final Photo feature in your workflow).

3. Start the preset.

When the workflow gets to the Email feature state, a keyboard will be presented on the screen, where you will be able to type the email address you'd like to send the files to. Hit Send to send the file or Skip, to skip the email option.

You can edit your Email Feature setting in the Features Tab > Email

Email Vertical Position: Choose the displayed Vertical position of the Email Feature from the drop-down menu (you can choose between top, middle and bottom).

Send Photos, Send Videos, Send GIF from Photos, Send Burst GIF Send Video from Photos (if saved), Send Raw Photos*: Select the types of digital media you want to include in the email sent through the software.

Delete Final Photo when Email is Sent: If this option is selected, final photos will be deleted once the email is sent.

Enable Sending Multiple Emails: Check this box to allow the user to send the email to multiple addresses (see instructions below).**

In the MMS feature screen, type in the first email address you'd like to send the email to, and then hit "Add Email". The first email will be sent, and the next one will be sent after adding another number and hitting the "Add Email" or "Send" button.

Show Disclaimer: The disclaimer, if selected, will appear before sending the email.

Bypass State on Disclaimer Disagree: If the user disagrees to the disclaimer, the next state in the workflow will be skipped.

Email Service PHP: Foto Master provides a script that can be used on your server. Using this script will allow you to send emails from your own server. To achieve that, you need to make sure that your server supports php mail() function and that an email server is installed on it. For more information on what you should check in your server, please contact the support team.

Note that if you're using Foto Master's server, the file size limit is 8MB.

From Email: The “from” address of your email.

To have the ability to change the "from" email and sender's name, you should use your own email service - please refer to the software user manual for more details.

Note that by changing the "from" email address, you are only changing the email address that appears as the sender's email and will also not take any effect while using Foto Master's email server.

In V10, you can Enable Global Email Settings for both Email Service PHP and the From Email setting. Go to the Globals tab > Email > and check "Enable Global Email Settings". Enter the required data

Subject: Type the message you would like to appear as the subject of the email.

Message: Type a message to send as the body of the email.

Disclaimer: The disclaimer that will be presented before sending an email, if the “Show Disclaimer” box is checked.

Show Privacy Checkbox: Will add a privacy checkbox to the Disclaimer:

Collect Emails: This option allows you to collect the users’ email addresses while using the Mirror Me Software during your event. You can choose between the “Auto Collect Emails” option, the “Collect Emails if Allowed by User” option, and the “Do not collect Emails” option. If you select the “Collect Emails if Allowed by User”, another checkbox will be added to the disclaimer:

If collecting emails option is enabled, an “emails.csv” files will be created under the event folder listing all the email addresses entered in the system and the number of their corresponding media files. If you don't have an internet connection during the event, the software will automatically send the emails once connected to the internet again.

Note that the email collection list will be created per event and not per preset.

Email Icons Directory:

Select the folder that contains the email icons you would like to use. The default folder is located in C:/MirrorMeBooth/Assets/Email/ and contains all the email icons provided by us. You can create a new folder with your own custom icons and change the email icons directory to its location. You can also change the characters each icon represents by replacing the current text to your desired one.

Customizing the keyboard's buttons:

You can create your own keyboard buttons as you desire - the file you're creating should be a png. file.

1. Place the button you want to use in the right folder, according to the selected directory and name it aol\yahoo\gmail (according to the button you'd like to replace) . In the photo below, I created a "@hotmail" button and replaced it with the yahoo email button.
