Email Configurations

Email is a way for End Users to submit their tickets. Normally all emails sent to NSP are converted to tickets. Only exception is if the email subject contains a unique prefix for the NSP installation and a ticket id. The email then is added as a comment to the existing ticket.

You can set up the email account using different email service providers supported by NSP like Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Office 365, Gmail, Yahoo or Custom (POP or IMAP).

To access the Email Configurations go to Configurations > Channels > Email Configurations.

Following figure shows the Email Configurations page:
