Helpdesk | Tracking received emails

This process aims to efficiently manage and track every email received, by creating a new ticket/card in the pipe for each email. The tickets are reviewed, categorized based on the type of query, tracked until a response is sent, and finally closed.

Workflow Steps

Step 1 - Automated Email-to-Ticket Creation

An email sent to the designated support address automatically creates a new ticket in the helpdesk system with a unique ID.

Step 2 - Categorize, Prioritize & Assign

An agent reviews the new ticket, categorizes it (e.g., billing, technical issue), sets a priority, and assigns it to themselves or another agent.

Step 3 - Respond & Collaborate

The agent replies to the customer from within the ticketing system. They can also leave internal notes or collaborate with other team members on the ticket.

Step 4 - Resolve & Close Ticket

Once the issue is fully resolved, the agent marks the ticket as "Closed". The system can be configured to automatically close tickets if the customer doesn't reply after a certain period.

The Purpose of Helpdesk | Tracking received emails

This workflow transforms a chaotic shared support email inbox (like support@company.com) into a structured and manageable ticketing system. It ensures that every single email is tracked, nothing gets missed or forgotten, and that responses are timely. It allows managers to see how many requests are coming in, how quickly they are being answered, who is working on what, and provides valuable data on support team performance.
