Email Routings

Use email routings to set up rules that define what happens to your emails before they reach the Tickets module.

Examples of use include: 

  • Route emails from addresses containing "noreply" to a "Do not reply" category.

  • Identify emails from VIP customers by their domain and give them a high priority.

  • Sort emails with "complaint" in the subject to a special category.

  • Delete emails from unwanted domains or senders.

Import Routings

You can only import Title, Description and Direction. You will need to set up routing actions manually for each routing.

  1. Click Import in the top right corner of the Email routings page. The Import dialog will open.

  2. Download a template in .xlsx or .csv format. If you prefer, you can use your own file – you will have to manually pair your columns if they are in different order.

  3. Fill out the import file. Title and Direction are mandatory fields. Use IN, OUT or INOUT (capitals) in the Direction column – any other values will return an error.

  4. Select your file or drag and drop it into the Import dialog. Click Next.

  5. Set up your import settings.

    • Use first line: select yes if your columns don't have titles and you would like to include the first line in the import.

    • Import unique name: select yes if your upload file has a column with a Unique name. If you are using the template, it does not contain a Unique name column.

    • Duplicity check: select yes to check for duplicate entries. Checks the Title column by default. If Import unique name is selected, checks this column.

    • When found skip: select yes to skip duplicate entries. If you select No, you can set up the action to take if a duplicate is found in the next step.

    Click Next when done.

  6. Drag the column names to the correct fields. If you used the template, the columns will already be mapped correctly. You can also use the grey buttons next to the Columns heading to pair the columns by title or by order or to remove the current pairings.
    Click Next when done.

  7. You will see an overview of the routing titles that are to be imported. You can save your settings for future use (bring them up using the dropdown menu next to the Import button on the main Email routings page).
    Click Import.

  8. Wait for the process to finish. If your import has finished successfully, you will see a notification at the top of your screen. Click the Load new data button to see your new routings.
    If there were any errors, an error log will automatically download. Open it, resolve any errors and repeat the process if necessary.
