Needed to know if there was a way for a TroopTrack account user to be able to receive an email from an external email account that is not associated with the Troop? We are new users and we were setting up a training event for Webelos and other 5th to 6th graders to join us. We needed to create a gen…

I’ve added this to our to-do list. It is issue #1467.

I had this same issue with non-member email accounts. We would like to have a contact feature for those that wanted info about our troop. I was told to enter this discussion. I understand the issue about how difficult it can be to have a non-registered email in the TT system. What about having one…

The biggest problem with this idea in our current setup is that we allow troops to have distribution lists with the same name. This only works because we identify who the user is by the email they send from. In order to create a public email address we would need to make sure it is unique system wid…

Well like I originally suggested, give us an open email based on our account name@trooptrack.com . Ooh how about using periods so General.Troop170@trooptrack.com . just a thought.

We already make sure that subdomains are unique. Could we just use subdomain@trooptrack.com to create valid emails? The reason I thought we didn’t do this was spam, which we wouldn’t be able to protect against very well. Troops would be vulnerable to getting phony emails from Nigerian princes and w…

Hi, I think that I am having the same problem. We set up a mailbox called TreasurerXXXX@trooptrack.com to use with paypal so that all paypal emails would go to our treasurer and committee chair. None of the emails from paypal seem to come through. Is it impossible for paypal emails to be sent to …

Hi @TMSlaton . No, mailboxes can’t receive emails from Paypal, only from other members of TroopTrack.

How about adding an option to mailboxes to allow email from external sources? You could put a warning about spam, but this would allow users to have some flexibility on how to handle new member prospects, PayPal/Stripe notifications, etc. It’s kind of similar to the “Any member is allowed to send …

I would want a group to keep a contact information to be more generic and evergreen. So as people who change roles - the email notifications would be the same. For example - we would register our contact information at Council to be: Scoutmaster@TroopDomain.trooptrack.email." Or put on our website…

This “mailbox” feature seemed like a winner until I found out I couldn’t send to one from outside of TroopTrack. I don’t know the status of issue 1467, but I’d like to echo the powerful need for this feature - just moved my cub scout pack over, and this is the absolute wrong time to figure out that…
