Pre-Onboarding Checklist - UPS Digital Access Program (DAP)
We're super excited to get you integrated with our platform! There are a few prerequisites to go over first.
To ensure your onboarding process goes smoothly, please review the following steps before your scheduled session. Completing these items ahead of time will help us avoid delays and get your team up and running as quickly as possible.
1. UPS Digital Access Program (DAP) Setup
Your ReadyCloud account will use the UPS Digital Access Program (DAP) for shipping.
You do not need to create a new UPS account or provide UPS account credentials before onboarding.
ReadyCloud will configure and connect your DAP shipping account with you during the onboarding session.
No additional UPS setup is required before the call.
2. Decide on an Email Address for Sending Notifications
When employees are offboarded, QR codes and notifications will be sent via email. We require you to choose the sending email address that these notifications originate from.
(Although we strongly encourage you to provide us the email ahead of your onboarding, it will be ultimately required at the time of setup.)
Why this is important:
-
In order for your domain to properly send emails through our platform, two DNS record types must be added to your domain’s settings:
-
SPF Record: Authorizes our platform to send emails on behalf of your domain, reducing the chance of emails being marked as spam.
-
DKIM Record: Adds a digital signature to your emails, proving that the messages haven’t been altered in transit and come from a verified source.
-
- If possible, please have a member of your IT team, DNS administrator, or whoever manages your domain settings join the onboarding call.
- Sharing this email address with us ahead of time allows us to provide the DNS records early, giving your DNS admin time to add them before our setup call.
3. Schedule Your Onboarding/Setup Call
Once the above steps are complete, please schedule your onboarding call.
