Email to Ticket

The Email to Ticket function allows emails to be automatically digested as a ticket to the applicable Subscriber Account. Allowing a user to view the open ticket associated with that Subscriber. The benefits in using the Email to Ticket function are the fact that your incoming customer emails will be digested into their Subscriber Account, it alert a Vision User to work that ticket, and in turn creating a better customer service environment.

The system completes several steps behind the scenes to ensure that the email is assigned to the correct subscriber account. These are the processes in place when an email comes into a mailbox that is digested into Vision: 

• Check the email body for a Vision ID to tie back to an existing ticket (only if an email had been previously sent out of Vision). 
• If there is an email address matched to a subscriber, but no existing open ticket, then a new ticket will be created on the subscriber account. 

If there is no match, then: 

• Check from email address to match to an account, then use email subject to match to specific ticket. 
• Check the default subscriber for email subject that matches to a specific ticket. 
• Create a new ticket on a default subscriber. 

Under Admin Utilities Tickets, you can control the Email to Ticket function. Here you can view the emails used in digesting tickets. Click the gear icon to filter the display. Or use the magnifying glass icon to search for a specific item. Click on an inbox line to view more details, edit, delete, or deactivate. Select ADD EMAIL TO TICKET RECORD to add an email to the ticket admin record.

Admin Utilities > Tickets > Email to Ticket

Click ADD EMAIL TO TICKET RECORD. Then input the specific information. The ticket record will hold all the information that the ticket will create from an email with; status, priority, category, and subcategories. 

When setting up a ticket to Email record, the login for the email that will house the all the emails from subscribers depend on the emails account. If using a Microsoft account, the login selection will use OAUTH that would host the email account. For a Google account the LOGIN TYPE will use PASSWORD to setup the eamil server and account. 

After filling out the tickets priorities and categories the next step is to default the User and/or Group that would be assigned to the ticket after it is created. 

Below is an example of an Email to Ticket record. Here you can edit information, DELETE, or DEACTIVATE the email. If you make changes be sure to click SUBMIT.

Manually Moving a Ticket

Vision will attempt to route the ticket to a subscriber account if the sender's email matches back to a contact on their account. When there is no match, or an email is on multiple accounts, Vision will open the ticket on the default account.  You can manually move a digested ticket from the 3 dot menu in the upper right of the ticket, then click  Switch Subscriber. 

Responding to email from a ticket, in the ticket click on the 3-dot in the original email in the ticket to respond to keep the emails in the chain inside the ticket. 

After clicking on the 3-dot menu this menu will be displayed click reply and it will direct you to an email template where you can respond and it will show up in the ticket so all communication can be tracked in the same place without having to dig through emails. 

Text to Ticket 

The Text to Ticket function allows inbound texts to automatically digest into an open ticket on an associated subscriber's account. If the system does not find a subscriber account to assign the ticket to, it will be assigned to a default subscriber such as User Support. Then someone can work that ticket later and assign it to the correct subscriber or close it out.

To access the Text to Ticket admin area, click on Admin Utilities then select Tickets.

Admin Utilities > Tickets > Text to Ticket Tab > Click on specific Twilio Account Line

Setting up the Text to Ticket feature:

In your Twilio account, you will need to add a webhook generated by Vision. In Twilio next to the webhook, there will be a drop down menu to change to “HTTP POST.”

You will then need to click ADD TEXT TO TICKET RECORD from the Tickets Administration page. There you will fill out the fields including your Twilio account information and Auth Token from Twilio. Once complete click SUBMIT. The Support Team can walk you through these steps.
