Email forwarding

If you already have a support address, you can forward your emails to HelpDesk and see the benefits of having your entire communication in one place.

In this section, you’ll find the forwarding instructions. The general rule is to add your HelpDesk’s forwarding address in your current email provider’s settings. However, the exact steps are different based on the email provider that you use. Go to our step-by-step tutorials for different email providers to learn more.

Also, in this section you’ll find your unique HelpDesk’s forwarding address that is assigned to your account. You can use it for setting up forwarding to HelpDesk.

Email notificationsLink icon

In this section, you can customize notification preferences for your HelpDesk licence (i.e. for all the agents).

By default, HelpDesk will send you a notification email when a ticket arrives or when you’ve been assigned to a new team.

You’ll receive notifications when:

  • a ticket or a new response from your client arrives (“New messages”)
  • you’ve been assigned to a new team (“New team assigned”)
  • there has been a change in a ticket you’re assigned to

Also, your customer can receive a notification when you create a ticket (“New ticket confirmation”).

To change your notification settings, check/uncheck the boxes next to the preferences in the notifications settings.

Attention: Every agent can enable/disable notifications for their own account. Read this article about agents to learn more.
