Hi,

are there any best practices for automatically generated tickets? We have several systems sending emails to Freshservice automatically and we’re not sure how to handle them. We thought of using a custom field to filter them or to create a separate agent group specifically for those emails.

Does anyone have a tip on how to handle this well?

Hi.

Well, it will depend on your needs.

If they are from Systems, you may try setting up Alert Monitoring using Email as the source, so, they can be properly assigned and tracked.

Since users can also create tickets via email, this wouldn’t make much sense. It’s also more about the way of display/routing.

Hi.

Alert Monitoring is very customizable, and you may set it up based on the sender.

If the sender is from non monitored accounts or some specific email accounts other than user’s email accounts, you can easily set it up for those systems.

For Users sending emails, you may assing them to a custom group of your choice.

There’s a current field named Source, and you may check whether it is Email and if that is the case, when a ticket is raised, you may assign to the group you suggest.

When you set up Alert Monitoring, the Source is set to Alerts, so you may act properly as well.

 

Hope this clarifies and helps.

Hello @leon.kaesmann, whenever we add a support mailbox to freshservice we always have an associated agent group that is the primary location those tickets get assigned when they are created. This has helped us make sure tickets land in the correct location from the start. You can enhance this by using workflow automators to further categorize tickets and notify the right agents. Hope this helps!
