Using Agreement's Email Catcher Feature

Agreements has a unique feature known as Email Catcher. It allows emails to be directly logged into the Agreement record by sending them to ramp-agmcatcher@fsu.edu and including the Agreement ID in the subject line.

There are two pieces of critical information that must be contained in the email for the email to be properly routed to the correct Agreement record.

1. The email must be addressed to ramp-agmcatcher@fsu.edu either in the "To" line or the "Cc" line.
2. The Agreement ID must be entered at the beginning of the "Subject" line and must have a (space) after the last character in the Agreement ID.

It is highly recommended that you copy the Agreement/Amendment ID from the workspace and paste it at the beginning of the subject line of the email and enter a (space) after the last character in the Agreement ID.

NOTE: Typing in the ID can result in entering to many/too few zeros or other typos.
