# Exquise

## Introduction

With Zivver, you can send secure messages from Exquise. Easily and securely send messages to referrers and patients directly from Exquise. You can choose whether to send a message as a regular message or as a secure message.

Info

To send secure emails from Exquise, you need a business Zivver account in combination with the _Zivver Mail Submission_ add-on. Mail Submission requires an [Ultimate subscription](/content/nl/prijzen/index.html) and a contract that includes Mail Submission. To activate Mail Submission, contact [sales@zivver.com](mailto:sales@zivver.com).

## Getting started

To send secure emails from Exquise, you need a business Zivver account. Using the steps below, you can easily check whether your account is a business account and which organization you are a member of. Repeat these steps for each email address you use in Exquise.

1. Open a web browser and go to [https://app.zivver.com](https://app.zivver.com/).
2. Log in with your email address and password.
3. Go to [Personal Settings](https://app.zivver.com/settings/profile).
4. At the top of your profile, you will see the name of the organization you are a member of. You will see:

_Your account is part of \[name of your organization\]_  
5. Your account is suitable for sending secure emails from Exquise.

Note

Do you not see the text _Your account is part of \[name of your organization\]_, but do you have a business account? Then ask the administrator of your organization to invite you.

## Preparations

By default, Exquise sends messages from [mailservice@uwtandarts.online](mailto:mailservice@uwtandarts.online). This does not work with Zivver. To send Zivver messages from Exquise, Exquise must be authorized to send messages on behalf of your email address.

Therefore, ask the administrator of your website or domain to add “spf.vertimart.nl” to the SPF record of your domain. The administrator can use [MX Toolbox](https://mxtoolbox.com/spf.aspx) to verify whether adding “spf.vertimart.nl” was successful.

## Configure Mail Submission in Zivver

To set up secure emailing in Exquise, you use the Zivver Mail Submission functionality. You must be an administrator to configure this.

1. Go to [SMTP credentials](https://app.zivver.com/admin/smtp-credentials).
2. Click  New SMTP credentials.
3. Enter a description.

_For example “Exquise”._
4. Click Generate.

_A new screen opens showing a username and password. These credentials are only shown once. Make sure to store them securely._
5. Click Close.

You have now generated an SMTP username and SMTP password. You will enter these credentials in Exquise later. Make sure to store the SMTP username and SMTP password from the steps above securely.
