It would be great to add text messaging capability to the email notifications for agents. I would like to receive a text message when a customer opens a new ticket.

Me to, I am thinking I could setup an email filter to forward new ticket emails to mms message using in my case PHONE_NUMBER@mms.att.net

I would suggest that this feature would be done with webhooks. That would allow multiple SMS operators instead "the" one supported officially by Freshdesk, and also many other features too.

i did a work around but it cost me one more agent. Create a new agent with your SMS email address  HEre is AT&T's xxxxxxxxxx@txt.att.net and then have notifications sent to this. I also trimmed the New ticket message down to the following.   Would really like a cleaner soulition.



Subject

New Ticket - [#{{ticket.id}}] {{ticket.subject}}

Body

Frm: {{ticket.requester.name}}{{helpdesk_name}}

We implemented Webhooks and this feature can be worked using our Webhooks integration

I still don't think this will work, Vijay.  There is no event trigger for when a new ticket is created.  Only if a ticket is updated, deleted or marked as spam.  Unless you can tell me if I am missing something.  I would like to make it so that when a ticket comes into our callcenter and they send an email to the system that a ticket is created and an escalation started.  I was thinking about creating extra agents as said above but looking for a better way.

make a dispatch'r rule to change a field on the ticket from "A" to "B" and then use observer to look for that change?

Hello,


The ability to trigger webhooks from Dispatchr' is available - You can use the dispatchr' rules to trigger any actions on newly created tickets. You can also try the integration with Firetext that makes use of the webhooks in automations.


Cheers!

Promotions for a brand are literally very important in order to grow the sales. If you are willing to grow the business then SMS marketing is one in a few technique that can help you get good results instantly. Even I am using the bulk text messaging service for business and very happy with it.

There are basically two ways to send SMS by means of email (accepting that that is what you're inquiring). Initially, you can utilize free email-to-SMS. Like most things free essay writers uk, though, there are some downsides.
