About Actions for Dispute Notifications

Overview

Actions specify the contact who is assigned to resolve the dispute (primary action parameter) and the contact who is notified of the dispute assignment or updates (secondary action parameter). You must define a resolver (primary action parameters) and can optionally define a contact who is notified of the assignment (secondary action parameters).

When adding default actions for an event you are able to select that no action occurs as a default. This ensures that actions only occur as a result of the rule conditions you define for an event being met.

For each action, you can select whether the invoice owner should receive notification of the dispute assignment or update. This notification is in addition to the notification to the contacts defined for the action (Primary Action Parameters and Secondary Action Parameters).

The action parameters for defining a contact include the following:
 

E-mail Action Parameters

Description

Name

A name (up to 50 characters) that identifies the action.

Delivery Method

To send an e-mail message to the contacts defined by this action, select e-mail. To have no action occur, select No Action. No Action is useful when you do not want dispute resolvers to change when the dispute is updated.

Description

A description that identifies the action, such as the circumstances under which the action is used.

Send Notification to Invoice Owner

By selecting this check box notification is sent to the invoice owner in addition to any contacts defined by the ruleset.

Contact For

Select either Customer or Invoice to determine whether the e-mail notification is sent to a customer or invoice contact. In eCredit, contacts can be entered for the customer or for the invoice. How your organization maintains contacts determines whether you select Invoice or Customer.

Category

Select the Category that describes the role the contact performs. eCredit sends the notification to a contact that has this category entered for them on the Contact details screen.

Default E-mail

Enter the default e-mail that eCredit uses if there is no contact entered for the customer or invoice that matches the contact information entered for this action. The match is for a customer or invoice contact  (Contact For selection), Category, Primary (Yes or No to use only the contact entered as the primary contact) and Type (Internal or External contact).

Level

Select Manager Level 1 to have the manager entered for the contact receive the notification. Select Manager Level 2 to send the notification to the manager for the contact's manager. Select None to exclude the level from the contact selection.

Note: The Level selection is used only when the internal contact you are defining is also an eCredit user.

Type

Select Internal to select an employee of your organization as the resolver or contact, or External to select a business contact who is external to your organization receive notification of the dispute.  

Primary Contact

Select Yes if you want the e-mail delivered to the primary contact. The contact must be designated a primary contact on the Contact details screen. Only one Customer contact can be primary. For internal contacts, there can be one primary contact for each contact category.

Note: If you select Yes and none of the contacts that match the information you enter is designated as primary, the default email entered for the contact is used.

Template

Select the name of the template that you want to use for the notification. The eCredit Professional Services Organization creates and attaches your custom templates as part of your subscriber implementation.
