Feature NameDescriptionRelease Date
Approval ProcessA new permission has been added that allows a user to approve/decline any order from their buyer company they have access to view.  Permission: Approve All Orders.October 2013
Auto EmailWhen a buyer user places an order, the admin user is notified via email that the new order is received.  Prior to this release, this email was being sent from the buyer user's email address.  Modern spam filters will often reject this message because the spam filter is able to detect that the message was actually being sent from Four51.com and NOT the buyer user's email. If the admin user were to reply to the message, it would be addressed to the buyer user's email address.

To prevent spam filters from blocking the New Order Received messages, the email will be sent from DoNotReply@Four51.com. An admin user can change the "From Email" address from DoNotReply@Four51.com to another address by customizing the New Order Received Auto Email.  Changing this value may cause this message to become undeliverable.  If the ReplyTo Email value is blank, it will continue to be populated with the buyer user's email address.

If the recipient of the message prefers to see who the order is coming from without opening the message, the Subject section of the Auto Email could be modified to something like:  You have a new order [[OrderID]] from [[Email]].
