Setting Up Email & Text Notifications:
Tilt 4 Windows 2 can send automated email and text alerts for your fermentation sessions. Before enabling this feature, you must configure your contact information:
- Click the Configuration tab at the top of the main Dashboard.
- Select Configure Email & Text Messaging from the dropdown menu.
- Enter your email and cellphone details to complete the setup.
The Email & Cell Phone configuration window will be displayed as seen below.
Important: You must configure your email settings even if you only want to receive text messages. Tilt 4 Windows 2 routes SMS notifications through your email server, meaning text alerts will appear as coming from your email address.
How to Configure Your Server Settings:
- Enter your Email Address (or account username) and Password.
- Check the SMTP Server Name and Port Number. For popular providers, these will autofill automatically. If they remain blank, look them up on your email provider’s website.
- Click the Send Test button.
If the application confirms the settings are correct, check your inbox for a verification email.
Note: If you do not receive the test email, double-check your credentials or check your Spam/Junk folder.
After you have received the test message you can then proceed to configure your cellphone. Enter your phone number (numbers only) and then select your cellphone provider from the pull down list. Click the Send Test button to send a test message to your cellphone. Please note some cellphone providers may block these messages (test message and or notifications) or they may delay them. If your messages are being blocked or delayed please contact your cell phone provider.
