Email ticketing system that keeps your support address

Forward your support address to Ticketagent and every incoming email becomes a ticket with an owner, a status and a clock. Customers keep writing to the address they already know, your team works from one queue, and the AI agent drafts a reply on every ticket before anyone opens it.

Why a shared mailbox stops working

Email is where most support starts. One address, a few people with access, and replies go out from whoever sees the message first. It works until two people answer the same customer, a message sits unread over a weekend, or nobody can say how long customers wait for a first reply.

An email ticketing system keeps the part customers like (they just send an email) and fixes the part that breaks for your team. Every message gets an owner, every conversation gets a status, and every reply is visible to the rest of the team. If you are weighing the two approaches, our article on shared inbox vs help desk covers the trade-offs.

  • No more "did anyone answer this?"
  • No duplicate replies to the same customer
  • A clear record of who said what and when
  • Response and resolution times you can actually measure

Forward your support address, keep your domain

Each inbox in Ticketagent has its own forwarding address. You add a forwarding rule in your mail provider, and from that moment every email sent to your support address arrives as a ticket. Replies go out from your own address, so customers see [email protected] in the From line, not a vendor domain. You verify your domain once so replies pass sender checks and land in the inbox, not in spam.

  • Works with any mail provider that supports forwarding
  • Replies sent from your own support address
  • Domain verification for reliable delivery
  • Separate inboxes for support, billing or sales, each with its own address (2 inboxes on Starter, unlimited on Team and up)

Email to ticket, with nothing lost

When an email arrives, Ticketagent creates a ticket with the subject, body, attachments and sender. It recognizes the customer by email address and attaches the ticket to their history. AI classification reads the message and sets a category, priority, sentiment and language, which your routing rules then use to assign it.

  • Attachments and inline images kept with the ticket
  • Customer history on the side: past tickets, tags, tier
  • Automatic category, priority, sentiment and language
  • Statuses (new, open, pending, solved) and tags on every ticket

Threading: one thread per customer conversation

Customers reply to old emails, change the subject line, add a colleague in CC or write a second message before you answered the first. Ticketagent keeps replies in the thread they belong to by reading message headers, not just the subject. If a customer opens two tickets about the same problem, an agent can merge them into one, and the full history stays together.

  • Replies land in the original ticket, even with a changed subject
  • CC recipients kept on the conversation
  • Merge duplicate tickets from the same customer
  • One timeline with every email, note and status change

Collision detection and internal notes

On Team and up, collision detection shows when a colleague is viewing or replying to the same ticket, so two people never send two different answers. Internal notes let agents discuss a ticket right inside the thread: ask a question, @mention a teammate or leave context for the next shift. Customers never see notes.

  • Live indicator when someone else is viewing or typing
  • Internal notes with @mentions inside the ticket
  • Canned replies for answers you send often
  • Assignment to a person or a team, with a clear owner

AI reply drafts on every email

Every ticket gets an AI reply draft grounded in your knowledge base, with the cited article shown to the agent. The agent edits, approves and sends. For questions you approve, such as order status or password resets, the AI customer service agent can resolve the ticket on its own when its confidence is above the threshold you set. Everything it does is logged.
