If enabled, emails from this email address will enter the system as an interaction.

Signature
In the Templates section, a new one can be configured and used as a signature that will be assigned here. When an agent responds/sends and email through the specific campaign, the signature will load automatically.

Enable qualification
When this checkbox is active, it enables two more fields that will be used to configure the rating of each outgoing email generated in the campaign.

When this box is activated with the check box next to it, the campaign can have a Template adjudicated. This one will work the following way, when a client sends a mail through that campaign, the client will get an automatic mail containing the template adjudicated, and an agent will get the interaction.

Encryption/Security
The user has three different options TLS, SSL y SMTP.
