It should be possible to send an email to project_name@userecho.com and that automatically creates a helpesk ticket.
It could also take some parameters from the email subject to determine the category.

For us this the only showstopper for now. We have a custom support subdomain from a domain we own (support.ourowndomain.com) pointed at userecho for evaluation right now, works great, but need ticket generation via email too, preferably using the same support emaildres on our own domain (support@ourowndomain.com) the user send emails to. So even if we need to forward emails from our own emailaddress (no pop3/imap connection from userecho system) to e.g. tickets@projectname.userecho.com, we should be able to set the from/reply-to address to our own support emailadres (which would be a nice global setting too, or is it already possible?). BTW we then must add the userecho smtp server to our spf record.

Pointing to the last message from Sergey, it is implemented a month ago ;-)

Sergey,

This is a fantastic feature and thanks for providing us with this functionality, it is working flawlessly for us.  I have a couple of quick questions:

1. Is it possible to include a link to the ticket in the email that is sent back to the user?
2. When a new user sends an email I assume an account is setup for them on UserEcho.  What is the password that is assigned to this user? Is there a way we can let them know what their credentials are, or whether they should setup credentials in order to use the full feedback site.  My goal here is to try to encourage them to start visiting the feedback site rather than communicate via email.

Thanks again!

Thanks, we constantly improving quality of parsing incoming emails at this moment and soon this feature will be available to all our customers.

1. We will improve first letter by adding link to created ticket and maybe additional info how to access user ticket directly.

2. At this moment if we see that user with Mail from: email not exists in the UE we auto create it, and user able to access his account via password reset, may be setting temporary password and emailing it to the user will be better.

We considering about optimal solution and implement it soon.

Thanks again Sergey, the email feature is really working well for us!  I think a temporary password would be a great solution!

Is there a way to use my custom domain alias instead of the .userecho.com for the incoming email to ticket email address?

Instead of whatever@myaccount.userecho.com is there a way to do something like whatever@support.mydomain.com ???

Yes, you can use your own domain if you will redirect emails from whatever@support.mydomain.com to whatever@myaccount.userecho.com
Also you can send notifications to users fro own email if you add SPF record to your DNS.
