Email Communication in RF Platform

Modified on Thu, 22 May at 6:29 PM

 

Dual-licensed realtors (DLRs) have access to a dedicated email interface page within the Realfinity Platform. This feature supports sending and receiving emails, and sorting and searching through communications. Emails can also be linked directly to clients, and attachments can be added seamlessly to active loan applications.

Your email will now be formatted as: first.last@mail.rfm.io. Reach out to the team at support@realfinity.io to confirm your email address if you have questions.

 

Basic Controls

Navigating to the email page

You can access the email communications through: https://rfm.realfinity.io/#/admin/view-email

Once logged into the Realfinity Platform, users can access email communications by clicking on the mail icon in the upper right corner of the header.

Refresh new emails

Clicking the icon with the circle arrows will refresh the page and load any new emails that come in.

Email folders and menu

There are five folders within the email tool, and the default folder will always be the Inbox.

Linking Emails to Clients

Link from email

The system will recognize if the email is sent from one of your connected clients (assuming they are sending the email for the one on file), and it should automatically connect. You can also manually link an email to a client by clicking on the three dots (menu) in the email view, and clicking "link to client." This will open a screen where you can search within your client list. If the person is not an existing client, you will have to create a client first to link emails.

Once linked, it will show the tag at the top of the email, indicating that this email is connected to the client. You can also remove this tag to unlink the message.
