Autoresponder Settings
Click 'Admin Panel' > 'Settings' > 'Autoresponder'
- An autoresponder is an email which is automatically sent to users immediately after certain events. For example, autoresponders are sent to users after they submit a ticket to confirm receipt of their request.
- You can also send out autoresponders when staff create a new ticket, when a new reply is posted to a ticket, and when a user exceeds the maximum number of open tickets.
- The 'Autoresponder Settings' interface lets you choose global autoresponder settings
- You can also choose autoresponder settings for specific ticket categories, departments or email addresses. Category / department / email settings override the global setting.
- You can view and edit the content of autoresponders at 'Admin Panel' > 'Emails' > 'Templates'.
- See Email Templates for help to create and manage email templates.
