What are discussions?

Send and receive messages via email using OnRent Events.

Updated over a week ago

Discussions are a way of sending messages from your OnRent Events system to users, contacts, organizations, and venues you have added to People & Organizations. 

  • Your OnRent Events users will receive the message through OnRent Events, and everyone else will get the discussion as an email. 

  • Any replies to discussion emails come back into OnRent Events, meaning everything stays in one place and everyone in the team is in the loop.

  • You can create discussions throughout OnRent Events, including creating discussions from document layouts.

  • Discussions include a range of tools to help you see who’s read a message and control who receives future messages.

  • Customize and brand the email templates sent from OnRent Events.

View discussions

Discussions in OnRent Events are created regarding a record in your system, e.g., regarding an opportunity or regarding an organization. You can create discussions on:

  • Contact, organization, user, or venue pages

  • Opportunity, project, or invoice & credit pages

  • Product, service, vehicle, quarantine pages

  • Activities pages

You'll see any discussions listed on the left-hand side of any of those pages:

Unread discussions

When you receive a reply to a discussion that you’re a participant of, you’ll receive an email, and you’ll see this in the “Unread discussions” tile on the dashboard.

Next steps

For security reasons, it is not possible to add participants to a discussion while you’re in a trial account. Once you move into a paid subscription, you will have full access to this functionality.
