Setting Up Company Contact Information


You can set up accounts for email, fax numbers, postal mail, and telephone numbers so that customers using the Siebel eService Web site can contact you by using these communication methods. Each account that you set up can appear as a tile in the Contact Us view of the Siebel eService Web site. Customers can submit email messages by completing a form in this Contact Us view. The contents of the form are converted into an email message and routed to an email address in your email application. Also, customers can view the fax numbers, postal addresses, and telephone numbers for your company.

You must enable the Communications Management component group to process inbound email. This component group is started with the Siebel Server process to process inbound email. You can verify a successful email submission in Siebel Call Center by checking the logged event for this task in the Administration - Server Management screen. For more information, see Siebel CTI Administration Guide.

Siebel Communications Server processes inbound and outbound communication messages for the Siebel application. Siebel eService uses Siebel Communications Server to process the inbound structured email forms that customers submit. For more information, see Siebel CTI Administration Guide.
