Create a ticket by email

Create a ticket by email

You can quickly create a ticket by email when you specify the name of the ticket template in the email subject line.

Any replies made to the original email thread used to create a ticket, or to the emails sent from Service Desk associated with the ticket, appear on the ticket's Comments tab. For more information, see View ticket comments.

1.
Log in to your email account and create a new email message.
2.
In the email subject line, specify the ticket template name enclosed in braces. For example: {Printer Issues}.
If you do not specify the ticket template, the appliance uses the default ticket template associated with the queue.
3.
Describe your issue in the email message, and send it to the email address associated with the queue the specified ticket template belongs to.
For details on how to configure queue email settings, see Configure queue-specific email settings.
4.
When you receive an email confirmation from Service Desk, click the link in the email to review the ticket contents.
The Ticket Details page appears, displaying the newly created ticket.
5.
Make any changes, as required.
For more information about editing the ticket page, see Create tickets from the Administrator Console Ticket page.

Modifying ticket attributes using email

Modifying ticket attributes using email

You can change ticket attributes by email using variables that contain the @ symbol at the beginning of email messages.

Any text after the last email variable is added to the ticket Comment field.

For example, the following email text closes the ticket, changes the ticket owner, and adds a comment:


@status=closed
@owner=joe

I fixed that problem. If it happens again, talk to Joe.

Invalid fields and field values produce errors that are emailed back to the sender using the email error template. For more information on email templates, see Configuring email triggers and email templates.
