This is a new much improved version of our Help Desk extension. It includes all the features of standard Help Desk extension plus:
- Departments – now you can add unlimited number of support departments with their own attributes – email address, templates, etc.
- POP3 fetching and parsing – the extension gets all correspondence from a defined email address parsing the messages into tickets. It’s able to keep threads and add messages to the existing tickets by ID.
- Create new tickets from e-mail – any message sent to the parser email address without ticket ID can be automatically transformed into a new ticket, followed by admin and customer email notifications.
- Auto-expiration – automatically sets “Closed” status to tickets inactive for a defined number of days.
