How to Configure Support Email Channel
The default support email like support@subdomain.bolddesk.com is provided when you set up the BoldDesk account. For finding your instance default support email address refer to this faq. This default email can be shared with customers, and the emails received to this support inbox will be automatically converted as BoldDesk tickets. On successful ticket creation, the email notification will be sent to a requester and further communication can be handled in that email channel itself.
However, you may have a separate support email address with your business domain (support@mydomain.com) that your customers are aware of. You can forward your business support email to the BoldDesk default support email. After setting up the forwarding, all your support emails will be pushed to the BoldDesk and get converted as tickets. To learn more about enabling the email forwarding process, click here.
