Email Support Email Commands

Email Support Email Commands

Automate ticket processes with simple email commands

The Email Support extension for KB Support allows agents to enter certain commands into email content which, when detected, initiate specific actions for the ticket.

When KBS identifies an email command, validation occurs to ensure that the sender of the email has the appropriate permissions to carry out the requested command. If they do not have the required permissions to carry out the command on the ticket, the email will not be processed and will be placed into the Unassigned Emails folder.

Importantly, when an email command string is identified and processed, no further content within the email will be processed. As a result, no reply will be added to a ticket. It is also not possible to process multiple commands within a single email.

The following strings initiate the described actions;

CommandDescriptionExample Use
@@assignAssign the ticket to the specified agent. The agent can be defined either by their email address, or their WordPress user ID@@assign 15
@@assign agent@domain.com
@@add_agentAdds the specified agent to the ticket as an additional agent. The agent is defined either by their email address, or their WordPress user ID@@add_agent 24
