Email

Email customer support software

Customer email becomes threaded conversations in the shared inbox, so a request sent to one address can be assigned, discussed internally and tracked as a ticket instead of living in one person's mailbox.

What you get

What the Email channel does today.

  • Inbound email delivered by webhook and threaded by conversation
  • Replies sent through your Resend account
  • Tickets created from email with category and priority
  • Customer satisfaction replies handled by email
  • Campaign sends with delivery tracking
What you need

Requirements before you connect.

  • A Resend account, API key and verified sender address
  • An inbound email service that forwards messages to your KitoDesk webhook
How it works

From connection to conversation.

Connect

Add your Resend key and sender address, then point your inbound email service at the KitoDesk webhook.

Thread

Replies and follow-ups stay in the same conversation, so nothing is split across mailboxes.

Assign

Route the thread to a person or team and add private notes for colleagues.

Resolve

Close the conversation or open a ticket when it needs tracking to an outcome.

Limits and what is planned

  • Direct Gmail and Outlook mailbox sync is planned and is not available yet.
Questions

About Email on KitoDesk.

Can we connect our existing Gmail or Outlook mailbox?

Not directly yet. Mailbox sync for Gmail and Outlook is planned. Today inbound email arrives through a webhook from an inbound email service.

Does email create tickets?

Yes. An email conversation can become a ticket with a category, priority and due time.

Enough reading, see it live

Retire the shared mailbox password.
