Yes, you can use your own email address with DocketCalendar, but there are specific guidelines you should follow to ensure seamless integration and use within your firm. Here are some key points to consider when using your email address with DocketCalendar:
- Linked Email Account: DocketCalendar requires a dedicated full email account to function as a connection point between your firm's email domain and DocketCalendar. This linked email account is essential for creating events directly onto any calendar that is shared with this account's calendar.
- Choosing an Email Account: It's recommended to select an email account to which multiple people at the firm can have access if they are using DocketCalendar. This could be a new email account created specifically for this purpose, like firmcalendar@yourdomain.com, or an existing account that multiple people already have access to, such as admin@ or info@ your domain.
- Outlook and Gmail Users: For Outlook users, the linked email account must be an Outlook 365 email account, and DocketCalendar will not work with a free Outlook.com account. For Gmail users, any standard Gmail or Google Workspace account can be used.
- Sharing Calendars: To add events to any other calendar in your firm, you simply share the calendar from the person who needs to receive deadlines to your linked email account. This enables DocketCalendar to write events directly onto the shared calendar.
- Changing Linked Email Account: If you need to change your linked email account later, it requires assistance from DocketCalendar support.
These guidelines are designed to ensure that DocketCalendar functions optimally within your firm's workflow, allowing for efficient management of deadlines and calendar events while accommodating the need for multiple users to access and manage the calendaring system.
