Incoming ticket variables
When submitting a ticket via email, the subject will act as the ticket title and the body of your email will be submitted as additional information. You can include some variables in your ticket content to set ticket attributes such as priority, status and ticket type. A full list can be found below, just substitute the values with those from your own project.
- {status: STATUS}
- {priority: PRIORITY}
- {category: CATEGORY}
- {type: TYPE}
- {assignee: ASSIGNEE_USERNAME}
- {time: TIME_IN_MINUTES}
Accepting unrecognised senders
If a ticket comes in from an unrecognised email address, you'll need to look for it in your Incoming Tickets menu, accessible via the Tickets tab within a given project:
Once there, any tickets submitted will be listed with the option to either Accept or Reject them.
