Each line in this screen represents setup or configuration that is required before you start creating Direct Debit Mandates.

Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the setup.
Once all of the setups are complete you can start to create Customer Direct Debit Mandates.
Email Setup
The Email Scenario step is optional, as if there is a Default Email Account, this will be used for sending emails. If you prefer to use an account other than the Default account, you would create a second Email Account and assign the 'Astral GoCardless' email scenario to it.
Click on the number in the incomplete column for 'Email Scenario – Astral GoCardless'.
The Email Accounts window will open (figure 5). Select the Email Account that you would like to use for sending Mandate PayLinks or Billing Request Links (or create a new Email Account).
Then click 'Navigate' and then 'Email Scenarios'.
