Email Piping

97 vues Markdown

Turn messages sent to department mailboxes into support tickets, decide which senders are accepted and connect each department to a local or external mail provider.

Reaching the Screen

Open Support Settings and choose Email Piping: {admin}/tickets/settings?tab=pipe

What Is on the Screen

Global rules appear first. Provider credentials are configured once for the installation, while sender and mailbox settings are stored separately for each support department.

Fields

Global Rules

Enable Email PipeTurns the incoming-mail conversion process on or off.

Processing MethodDefault always imports incoming mail. Associate links a matching registered client and still imports other senders. Restrict creates a ticket only for a registered client's address.

Enable Spam ProtectionStops mail marked as spam from becoming a ticket.

Email Subject PrefixDefines the reference prefix used in ticket email subjects, such as REF.

Providers and Departments

Service ProviderOpens the configuration supplied by the selected Email Piping module. Shared client credentials are saved once and validated before department mailboxes use them.

DepartmentEach department has its own sender identity and mailbox connection.

Sender NameThe name recipients see on outgoing support mail for the department.

Sender EmailThe address used by the department for support mail.

ProviderUses the Local Server or one of the installed provider modules.

Connect or DisconnectAuthorizes or removes the mailbox connection for the selected department. The connected address is shown after authorization.

Choosing Local Server displays the forwarding command for the mail server. External providers can expose a setup guide, redirect URI, credential validation and a mailbox authorization popup.

Tasks

Connect a provider mailbox

Enable Email Piping and choose the processing and spam rules.
Configure the provider once, enter its shared credentials and use Validate.
Open the target department, enter its sender name and email, choose the provider and connect its mailbox.
Save the settings. New matching messages can now be converted into department tickets.

Configure a local mail server

Choose Local Server for the department.
Copy the displayed forwarding command into the matching mailbox forwarding rule.
Save the department and send a controlled test message.
The message appears as an Email Piping ticket with its source marker.

Things to Watch

Restrict rejects unknown senders

With Restrict selected, mail that does not belong to a registered client does not create a ticket. Use Associate when unknown senders should still enter the queue.

Credentials and mailboxes have different scopes

Provider client credentials are shared across departments. Each department still authorizes its own mailbox and keeps its own sender identity.

Privileges

Ticket Operations is required to save Email Piping settings. The direct menu shortcut may be shown only to staff with administrator privilege-management access.
