Megalink Functionality
Supplier Transactions
Megalink enables purchase orders, supplier credits, delivery dockets and other transactions to be sent from and received directly into GTX, when ordering from one of Megabus's many supplier partners including:
- Burson
- Repco
- Bridgestone
- Continental
- Michelin, Pirelli
- Yokahama and more
Both Burson EzyParts and Repco NavigatorPro can be fully integrated with GTX so that they can be accessed from and return order details to the Work Orders module.
Megalink enables documents to be delivered directly to customers via email, when finalising work orders, invoices and other transactions.
GTX email services can also be set up using the Hosted Email integration, which sends messages on your behalf through Megabus-managed servers, removing the need for you to maintain or configure your own email relay server while ensuring reliable delivery and flexible branding across all branches.
SMS Messaging
Megalink enables direct and instantaneous Two-Way SMS Messaging between users and customers.
Multi-Branch communications
Megalink also enables communications between branches in multi-branch systems, such as inventory updates, transaction records and customer details.
Megalink Control Panel
The status of communications can be check and basic troubleshooting can be performed using the Megalink Control Panel.
The control panel can be opened by double clicking on the Megalink status tab at the bottom of the GTX application window (or using the desktop icon, if present).
If the Megalink tab is red then there is an error that can be checked by double clicking on it.

The Megalink Control Panel will open on the Transport tab.
If the Logged In or Active icons at the top-right are red, please contact the Megabus Support Team.
Click on the My Incoming or My Outgoing toggles at the top-left to show your incoming and outgoing communications:
- Check the Status column for errors
- It is normal to have numbers in brackets beside each of these toggles
- If these numbers are increasing, please contact the Megabus Support Team.
Email Status
The status of email communications can also be checked by clicking on the Email tab at the top of the control panel.
Click on the Outbox, Sent, Cancelled and Failed tabs at the top to check the status of different communications.
Email Configuration
Uses with the required technical knowledge can also use the Megalink control panel to configure their email communications:
- Select File > Configure

The Megalink Control Panel can be used to set up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for Microsoft Outlook, if required.
