CommitCRM Email Connector |
| |
The Email Connector Module helps you improve the quality and efficiency of your customer service. |
| |
|
| |
CommitCRM Email Connector automatically generates new service Tickets in CommitCRM from incoming customer emails or MSP system automated email alerts. This feature saves time, reduces response time, and as a result increases customer satisfaction. |
| |
|
| |
In addition, CommitCRM Email Connector provides you with an API to the system. This means that you can send XML formatted emails to the system and they will automatically be popped, parsed and processed. |
| |
|
| |
CommitCRM Email Connector pulls incoming emails from your POP3 mail server (including Microsoft® Exchange® servers), processes the email and performs one of the following actions: |
| |
|
| |
| 1. |
Customer Email to Ticket |
| |
The Email to Ticket feature finds the CommitCRM Account/Contact which matches the "From" email address of the incoming email, and automatically creates a new Service Ticket in CommitCRM which is linked to the relevant Account. |
| |
|
| 2. |
API by Email |
| |
This feature allows you to receive XML formatted emails that will be automatically analyzed by CommitCRM Email Connector, which will then perform the necessary actions prescribed within them. This is an easy to use API for the entire CommitCRM system, which you can use to link to external systems, integrate with your web site so you can convert visitors into Contact records in CommitCRM, and more. |
| |
 |
|
| 3. |
Automated Emails & MSP Integration |
| |
The Automated Email feature processes incoming emails that have been sent to the Email Address defined for the Email Connector. The emails processed are usually from automated sources, such as MSP alerting systems, and the Automated Email feature analyzes the content of the emails in order to create the relevant service tickets in CommitCRM. |
| |
|
| |
The Automated Email feature allows you to easily define a set of rules that will help the system detect automated incoming emails which contain information about specific customers, and create Tickets for them. |
| |
|
| |
The system can be integrated with leading MSP tools such as Level Platforms' Managed Workplace®, N-able' N-central, and many others. |
| |
|
|
| |
From a technical perspective, CommitCRM Email Connector runs on your server as a Windows service and processes incoming emails from your mail server. |
