Introduction
There are a number of general settings within a single Shared Inbox that you can change to customize for your needs. We'll talk about each one of them here.
The settings we'll be talking about can be accessed by clicking on the Settings icon, and on the specific inbox you want to modify.
Display Settings
Under the display settings, you can modify the Mailbox name as well the the Display name.
Mailbox name
Your end users (ie. customers) will not see this name. This is an internally used name for you and your team to quickly identify which Shared Inbox you're working from. It is especially useful if you're working with multiple brands or mailboxes.
Display name
The display name is the name that's sent in your outbound email. Typical names might be:
- Customer Support
- Your Company Customer Care
For example, ours might be Eager Customer Support.
Customers receiving your email will see this name in the From field of the email (if it is supported by their email client software).
Auto Assign Tickets
You can automatically set ticket assignment for a Shared Inbox by specifying the team member to which new tickets will be assigned:
Only team members with existing access to the mailbox will be selectable here.
Auto Forward
Eager can automatically forward incoming emails, so you can keep track of any inbound emails in a separate account. Note that this functionality forwards emails that your inbox receives, and not responses. In order to receive outbound emails, you will need to create a corresponding entry into Auto Blind Carbon Copy (bcc) -- see below.
Auto Blind Carbon Copy (bcc) Replies
Any outbound emails that is sent from a particular Shared Inbox could be blind carbon copied (bcc) automatically. Specify the email addresses you would like emails to be bcc and Eager will do so when it sends an outbound email.
Auto Reply
You can set an auto reply email to be sent whenever a new ticket is created. Note that this only occurs once per ticket. Subsequent replies will not trigger an automatic reply to the customer.
Email Signature
You have the option of setting up a standard email signature for all outbound emails sent for a particular Shared Inbox. Refer to our Setting a Signature guide for details.
