ℹ️This feature is only accessible to Answer approvers, Answer authors and Answer drafters in one-way Q&A.
​
If a Question has not been answered yet and is forwarded on to an Answer approver, Answer author or Answer drafter, they are able to provide an Answer to the Question by replying straight to their notification email.
​
This can be switched on by the Administrator on the room setting page.
​

This needs to be on and the users Q&A notifications on to be able to qualify to use.
​
​
Answer approvers and Answer authors Answers are sent directly to the Q&A Admin. Answer drafters Answers are sent to people with the Answer approver Q&A role, as they do not have the ability to forward Answers to the Q&A admin.
​

⚠️Good to know: To be able to approve Answers via email, an Admin must activate the Q&A notifications text. This will display the Q&A text, within email notifications, via the Admin's Room settings. Learn how to activate this feature here. Answer approvers, Answer authors and Answer drafters will also need to ensure that their Q&A notifications in the Room are still switched on. Learn how to update Q&A notifications here.
