Configure queue-specific email settings

Configure queue-specific email settings

You can set up email settings for each ticket queue separately.

By default, the Service Desk is configured to use an internal SMTP server for sending ticket-related emails. You have an option to use an external SMTP server, however, you must configure it in the appliance network settings. For more information, see Change appliance network settings.

1.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
2.
Go to the queue-specific Service Desk Queue Email Settings page:
a.
On the left navigation bar, click Service Desk, then click Configuration.
b.
On the Configuration panel, in the Email Configuration section, click Configure Service Desk Queue Email Settings.
c.
On the Service Desk Queue Email Settings page that appears, select a queue.
a.
On the left navigation bar, click Service Desk, then click Configuration.
b.
On the Configuration panel, click Queues.
c.
To the right of the queue email address, click Configure Queue Email Settings.
The Service Desk Queue Email Settings page appears.
3.
In the Built-in Email Setting section, specify the following options:

Field

Description

Email Address

A fully qualified email address for the server. Users typically do not reply to this address.

If you want to allow users to reply to appliance email, specify an email address in the Alternate Email Address field.

Alternate Email Address

Support@mydomain.com

The primary email address your users send email to. The appliance also uses this address to send email from the Service Desk. Confirm that the domain name is correct for your email service.

Accept email from unknown users

Allow unrecognized users to create tickets.

If this option is enabled in the queue configuration, any email sent to the Service Desk queue is allowed to set the Submitter field of a ticket. The sender is added to the appliance as a user with the User Console Only role. By default, this role has permission to create, view, and modify Service Desk tickets, and to interact with the appliance exclusively through the User Console. You can adjust the level of permissions associated with this and other roles, as applicable. For more information, see Setting up roles for user accounts.

If disabled, the preceding process works only when the email address of the sender is already associated with a Service Desk user account.

View and edit response templates

View and edit response templates

Response templates allow you to store common responses as comments or resolutions in Service Desk tickets.

Each response template is associated to a specific ticket queue and belongs to the user that created it. You can select the applicable response template on the Ticket Detail page.

The template text supports the use of email tokens. Token values are dynamically updated using the field values from the ticket in which they are referenced. You can use the same tokens that are available in email templates. For more information, see Configure email templates.

A response template can be public or private. Private response templates can be updated and referenced in applicable tickets only by the user that created them. A public response template is available for selection in the associated ticket queue by other users, however only the user that created it can edit the contents of the response message. Other users can view the contents of public response templates, but cannot edit them.
