Establishing a hosted email account with Unica

When you purchase a message subscription, Unica creates a hosted email account on your behalf and sends you the account credentials that you will need to use message features. You apply these credentials when you configure your local HCL Unica applications to access the hosted email environment over secure connections.

You must have a valid account to access the message resources that Unica provides as a software service. If your HCL Unica installation includes multiple partitions and you plan to use message in more than one partition, you need a hosted email account and atleast one service provider for WhatsApp and SMS for each partition. You cannot share email accounts across installations or partitions.

Establishing a hosted email account is the beginning of the startup process, which lasts for approximately 90 days. You can subscribe to SMS or WhatsApp as per the requirements. For a general description of the process, see the next topic.
