6. Setting up a Mailshot in MYOB Exo

The Mailshot function in MYOB Exo allows you to send or print documents in bulk. Processing and extracting all of these documents at the same time relieves your administration team from the burden of individual downloads. Combined with the contact and account information already available within MYOB Exo, you can automatically merge details to streamline the sending process.

Follow these simple steps to set up a Mailshot in MYOB Exo.

5. Business Alerts in MYOB Exo

Business Alerts provide increased control and visibility for various business processes in MYOB Exo Business. They can trigger pop-up notifications and other system actions based on pre-set rules. Business alerts can be extremely useful to prevent certain actions or transactions from being saved to the account if they do not meet certain criteria. They enable automatic user-level oversight and ensure transactions have the correct information and requirements stored. You can choose to simply track the process or even prevent further action or the saving of new information.

4. In-app messaging and disconnecting users

In previous versions of MYOB Exo, when you had several users logged into the system, it would be difficult to communicate critical information without relying on external applications. When compounded with time-sensitive actions such as a monthly rollover, inefficient team communication can create confusion and unnecessary stress.

Updating MYOB Exo to version 2021.4 allows sending broadcast messages to users across your system. This update also provides administrators with the ability to disconnect users forcefully. Communicating effectively and clearing your system for important tasks gives you more control over MYOB Exo, reducing errors and improving efficiency.
