14. Updating TrakIT By Email

If you do not have access to TrakIT, you can also update TrakIT by simply sending an email. This requires your Email Inbox for TrakIT to be setup. If you are unsure of your TrakIT Email Inbox, please contact TrakIT Support.

The emails should be sent from a registered email address belonging to an unlocked user profile in TrakIT. Users should have access to the work orders being updated. The subject line is not case-sensitive.

There are several ways to send to TrakIT:

1. Upload Documents by Email

b) Attach a document or forward an existing email with attachments.

c) Put the subject as: TrakIT Upload WOID/ContNum. Example: TrakIT Upload ABCU1234567

d) Send the email.

By default, the document is uploaded for the whole shipment. To upload it to a single work order only, use the 'Noshare' keyword in the subject line. Example: TrakIT Upload 12345 Noshare

Please make sure you remove all images and icons that may be present in your email signature. Or else, these are treated and uploaded as attachments.The attachment should not exceed 4 MB in size. Users can attach as many documents as they want. The uploaded documents are accessible to all users who have access to the work order. Please do not upload documents that are sensitive in nature. Use the normal TrakIT upload function and set the document role as appropriate.
