Sending E-mails through an M365 Shared Mailbox

Introduction:

By default, any e-mail sent by the MSP Process platform comes from noprely@mspprocess.com. For e-mails that are sent internally to an MSP, such as invites for technicians to join the MSP Process platform, this is a perfectly acceptable thing, but it's not ideal when dealing with e-mails that are sent to end-users, such as Opt-in forms and End-user Verification e-mails.

The MSP Process platform can be configured to send all of it's end-user facing e-mails through a Microsoft 365 shared mailbox - making it easy for any Partner to send our e-mails from a trusted Sender address of their choosing.
