Every email to your support address becomes a ticket with the full thread. Assign it, tag it, leave a note for a teammate, answer it and close it without leaving the inbox.

  • Gmail
  • Google Workspace
  • Forwarded mail
  • Contact forms
  • REST API

Why it matters

A queue the whole team can trust

  • Two people answer the same email

    Everyone sees who has it

    A ticket someone else has open says so at the top, and assignment shows who owns each one.

  • Context buried in a forwarded thread

    The whole conversation in one place

    Messages, internal notes and every change sit in one timeline.

  • Tickets forgotten until the customer chases

    Snoozed tickets come back on time

    Snooze until a parcel is due and the ticket returns to the queue, open.

One timeline for the whole conversation

Customer messages, your replies, internal notes and changes such as a new tag or assignee appear in one timeline, in the order they happened.

Replies go out from the address the email came to, in the same thread, so the customer sees one conversation. Attachments up to 25 MB travel both ways.

Hi, order #1042 said 3 to 5 days and it has been a week. Tracking hasn't moved since Monday. Can you check where it is?

BCBen CarterInternal note9:44

Carrier shows it at the regional hub since Monday. I asked them to trace it.

ReplyNote
Hi Maya, thanks for waiting. Your order is at the carrier's regional hub and we have asked them to trace it.

Two agents, one ticket, one reply

Assign a ticket to yourself, a teammate or a team. A ticket someone else is reading says so at the top, so two people do not answer the same customer.

Internal notes stay inside the helpdesk: ask a teammate, record what the carrier said, or leave context for whoever picks the ticket up next.

Put a ticket away until it matters

Snooze a ticket until a parcel is due or a restock lands, and it comes back to the queue open at that time.

Tags, priority and ticket fields record what the ticket was about, so views, rules and reports can use them later.

Snooze #4182 until

  • Later today17:00
  • TomorrowFri 9:00

  • When the parcel is dueThu 9:00

A snoozed ticket leaves the queue and comes back open at the time you pick.

Less back and forth inside the team

  • Send and close in one step

  • Search every ticket

    Find tickets by subject, the customer's name or email, or any word in the conversation.

  • Bulk actions

    Select a page of tickets to tag, assign, close or reopen them at once.

  • Spam and trash

    Mark junk as spam and keep it out of every view, or move a ticket to the trash and bring it back later.

  • New tickets by hand

    Open a ticket for a customer who phoned or wrote somewhere else, and send the first email from the helpdesk.

  • Works on a phone

    The inbox and ticket pages fit a phone screen, for the evening check on the queue.

Questions
