Enable Sender-Based Inbound Validations

Learn how to enable sender-based validation rules for E2B(R2) and E2B(R3) import.

About the Feature

With the 24R1 release, support for adding validation criteria per Transmission Profile was added to Vault Safety. When an E2B Transmission is received through an AS2 gateway or through the Vault API, Vault Safety will validate the E2B based on the validation criteria set on the sender’s or organization’s Transmission Profile.

After completing the enablement on this page, see Manage Transmission Profiles to add validation criteria to Transmission Profiles. For more information on E2B import through an AS2 gateway or Vault API, see Receive an E2B Transmission.
