CodaBox verifies your client's email address 

Just like when you register on a web shop, CodaBox asks your client to confirm his email address.

Why?

CodaBox wants to deliver documents to your client in a secure way.


When does the client have to confirm his e-mail address?

When CodaBox wants to send him/her documents (CODA/SODA or purchase invoices):


How?
Your client receives an email from CodaBox and the client has to match the name of his accountant.


Which email addresses need to be confirmed?
  • The contact email address for this company
  • The additional VOILA e-mail address


How to monitor this process?

Via MyCodaBox you can check if the email address of your client has already been verified. 

See below 'Check the status of the email verification'.


Your client confirms his email address

Your client receives an email from CodaBox

Subject: Please confirm your email address

Email content: Information about his company and two links

  • He/she is the legal representative of the company? He/she clicks the corresponding link and the verification form starts.
  • He/she is not the legal representative? He/she can contact us.


The verification form

The client must select the name of the accounting office he is working with.

Confirmation form for the e-mail address that will be used by CodaBox step 1: I enter the name of my accountant

When the first letters of the accounting office's name are entered in the field, the auto-completion process starts and proposes a list of names.

Once the name of the Accounting Office has been correctly selected, the choice must be validated by clicking on 'Confirm'.

A final screen displays the verification of the email address.

Confirmation form for the e-mail address that will be used by CodaBox step 3: my address is verified


The validation process fails?

The link is no longer valid?

The links are valid for 2 weeks. After this period, the client can reactivate the verification process of his email address via  'Link expired, request a new link here.' (link in the verification e-mail).

Unsuccessful attempts?

If an error is made when selecting the Accounting Office, a message is displayed 'This information is not correct. You still have X more attempt(s)'

After 3 unsuccessful attempts, the client is invited to contact our Support via  helpdesk@codabox.com to request a new invitation to verify their email address.
