Users can also send emails directly to the group email configured in the "Group Mail" field of technician groups. When an email is sent to a technician group's address, the group will be automatically assigned in the ticket if the email address is properly aliased.
To set this up, go to Setup → Users and Permissions → Technician Groups in the application, and configure a group email address. Ensure this email is aliased with the address configured under Mail Server Settings. This way, when an email is sent to the group email, the application will fetch it, and the ticket will automatically be assigned to the group.
Do not use the same email address for both the Mail Server settings and the group email. Use a unique address for each group and make sure it’s aliased correctly with the Mail Server’s configured address.
Recommendation: Use a unique email alias for each group in the application. Even if you have the same group in multiple sites, it’s not recommended to use the same email address for different groups, as this could create multiple tickets with different group assignments.
Example: If email@domain.com is the address configured in Mail Server settings, use email1@domain.com for Group 1 and email2@domain.com for Group 2.
email1@domain.com and email2@domain.com has to be properly aliased with email@domain.com in your mail server. Once done, when a ticket is sent to email1@domain.com group will be automatically set as group 1 in the request ticket. The same thing applies for group 2 as well.
