Notifying Agents Using the Agent Portal
You can share port call information with agents via the Agent Portal. Additionally, if you are partnered with agents who are submitting forms directly via the API, you must specify them on the Agents and Notices form.
Notification emails are sent to agents when they are nominated for that port call. Emails will also be sent whenever data relating to that port call is changed.
To set up automatic emails to an agent:
On the agent's Company Profile page, the agent must specify a Nomination Email address.
Note: The Agent Notification emails can be configured within Veslink Settings > System Configuration > Agent Portal.
Verifying Agent Nomination
To verify that your Data Submission agent nomination was successfully submitted, do the following:
Ask the Agent to either:
Sign in to the Agent Portal.
Perform a fresh API call.
When signed in to the Agent Portal, on the Port Calls list, ask the Agent to:
Click the appropriate Client Name tab at the top of the list.
To only show Port Calls that are nominated for a future date, clear the Display port calls with departure times in the past check box.
If your vessel/voyage nomination does not appear, in the Veson IMOS Platform, you must:
Delete the nominated agent from Agents and Notices.
Save the voyage.
Add the Agent to Agents and Notices again.
Save the voyage.
