Overview
After setting up Ticket forwarding, all incoming customer outreach (from forwarded email addresses, replies to emails, and the ‘Contact Us’ button) will be consolidated in the Tickets Module.
Customers who submit a ticket via the 'Contact Us' button on the website will be prompted to let them know the submission was successful, and will include a Ticket Reference #.
Customers will receive ticket replies directly to the email address attached to their Customer Profile.
A summary of the conversation will be included in the email body, including dates and times of messages.
If the customer replies to the ticket, it will be re-categorized as ‘Open,’ even if the ticket had been previously marked as ‘resolved’.
Tickets received via the ‘Contact Us’ button can be set up with an auto-reply.
