This setup supports workflows where users can approve transactions by replying to an email notification.\

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>

   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.
