Email Support
*How your support inbox turns into tickets, automatically.*
No mailbox to set up
TikitDesk gives you a ready-to-use inbound email address β there's no IMAP or SMTP connection to configure, and no separate mailbox to check. Find your address under Company Settings β Organization β Email Support Inbox.
Using your own support@ address
You don't have to give out the TikitDesk address directly. Forward your existing support@yourcompany.com to your TikitDesk inbound address instead, and everything keeps arriving at the address your clients already know.
What happens when a client emails you
TikitDesk automatically turns the email into a new ticket β subject becomes the title, body becomes the description, and any attachments come with it. If it's a reply to an existing ticket thread, it's added as a reply on that ticket instead of creating a new one.
How it tells the difference: every outbound TikitDesk email carries a unique reply-to address tied to that specific ticket. Replying β from the client's own inbox, no login needed β keeps the conversation on the right ticket automatically. A brand-new email (not a reply) always starts a new ticket, even from someone who already has other open tickets with you.
If two people from the same client email separately
Each starts its own ticket β TikitDesk doesn't try to guess that two different messages from the same company belong together unless one is an actual reply to the other.
Deliverability β nothing to configure
Outbound email is sent from TikitDesk's own infrastructure, so SPF/DKIM setup is handled at the platform level β nothing you need to configure on your end.
If a client says your emails are going to spam
Ask them to check their spam/junk folder first and mark TikitDesk as "not spam" β that alone resolves it most of the time. If it keeps happening, see the Troubleshooting Guide.
If an email doesn't turn into a ticket
Check, in order:
- Your Email Support Inbox address (Company Settings β Organization) β confirm it's the one you're actually forwarding to.
- Forwarding setup on your own domain/mailbox β a forwarding rule that's disabled or misconfigured is the most common cause.
- The sender's company/account status β an expired trial or suspended account can affect whether new tickets are accepted.
See the Troubleshooting Guide for more detail if the issue continues.
