# Configuring the AWA Email-Capture Plug-In

### **Abstract** <a href="#v9cilvklrkh3" id="v9cilvklrkh3"></a>

Administrators must complete a few required setup steps before configuring *Approval Workflow Automation (AWA)* settings. One of the first tasks is enabling the email-capture plug-in, which allows *AWA* to receive and process approval instructions submitted via email. This setup supports workflows where users can approve transactions by replying to an email notification.\

This article explains how to configure the *AWA* email-capture plug-in in **Charted**.

### Configuring the AWA Email-Capture Plug-In <a href="#tagaw75sysht" id="tagaw75sysht"></a>

Configuring the *AWA* email-capture plug-in is one of the initial setup tasks after installing the *Approval-Automation Bundle*. This step allows the system to generate the unique email string required later in the approval workflow configuration.

Follow these steps to set up the *AWA* email plug-in:<br>

1. After installing the **Approval-Automation Bundle**, you need to set up a couple of prerequisites before configuring **AWA** settings.\ <br>
2. First, set up the **email plug-in**. To do that, hover over the **Customization** menu, then **Plug-ins**, and select the **Custom Plug-in Types** option. This will take you to the **Manage Plug-In Implementations** page:\ <br>

   <br>
3. On this page, check the **AWA EMAIL CAPTURE** box and click the **Save** button to apply the changes:\ <br>

   This will generate an email string. It is recommended that you copy and paste it into a separate document, as you will need to paste it soon into the process.

This concludes the process of configuring the **AWA** email-capture plug-in.
