Once you have installed the app, you are able to create Fabulous Surveys for your Jira instance.
Any user working with the plugin for the first time must "allow access" from the plugin to the Jira instance
Configuration
Basically, the plugin provides several layers of configurations:
Surveys Responses
let's look at each of them.
Global surveys SMTP configuration
By default, the plugin uses our native SMTP server to send survey emails. There are some limitations, in that case, recipients achieve emails from the next address: support@together4apps.com
If you would like to change this address or use your native SMTP server, you can configure this by the next path:
Go to: Apps (top navigation menu) → Manage your apps → Global surveys SMTP configuration (left side menu)
Please note
In the information section declared which SMTP configuration is used for all campaigns by default, Please check the message 'Used default…' (support@together4apps.com) or 'Used custom…’ (your SMTP config) this configuration might be overridden directly inside the campaign SMTP configuration.
If you delete your custom SMTP configuration, the plugin switches to using the native one.
If you deleted or changed the Global SMTP configuration for the existed campaign, it anyway will be used on the campaign configuration layer, until you change this. Please follow the SMTP campaign configuration section to get more details.
Campaigns Settings
A campaign might be created only within the scope of some project. You might have several campaigns per project. This interface is available only for site admins who have access to the ‘project settings’ section.
Go to: <Your project> → Project Settings (left menu) → Campaigns Settings (left menu)
You can configure Survey Campaigns or View Permissions in the scope of the corresponding tab.

SMTP
The campaign SMTP configuration overrides the global or the default SMTP configuration. Please check the next examples to understand how this section works.
GIVEN -> The global SMTP configuration is a DEFAULT. WHEN -> created a new campaign its SMTP configuration also will be the DEFAULT. THEN -> the global configuration changed to the custom one, but the campaign configuration was left in the DEFAULT.
GIVEN -> The global SMTP configuration is a CUSTOM (on the campaign level it's called a GLOBAL). WHEN -> created a new campaign its SMTP configuration will be a GLOBAL. THEN -> the global configuration changed to some new value, in that case, the SMTP campaign configuration switched to the CAMPAIGN state, as its value is different from the DEFAULT and the GLOBAL.
Regarding these examples, you may notice that the campaign SMTP configuration copies the value from the global SMTP configuration when it's created and store this state until it will be changed directly inside the campaign.
The campaign SMTP configuration might be in the three states: CAMPAIGN, GLOBAL, or DEFAULT. The state can be downgraded from the CAMPAIGN to the GLOBAL (if the global config exists) or to the DEFAULT by clicking a Delete button.
The campaign also can be upgraded to the GLOBAL state if it’s state the DEFAULT and the global config exists by clicking Upgrade to global button.
To quickly check current SMTP status you can use information from the campaigns list under the campaign name.
