Automatic ticket creation from incoming emails

Purpose

1.1. Automate the generation of support tickets by extracting relevant details from incoming customer emails, ensuring timely and accurate responses for B2B air compressor wholesale suppliers.
1.2. Streamline customer service operations, allowing support teams to focus on resolution rather than manual entry.
1.3. Ensure every customer inquiry via email is logged into the ticketing system, tracked, assigned, and escalated if necessary.
1.4. Minimize lost, delayed, or incorrectly routed support cases by enforcing process consistency.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Email received at designated support or general inquiry address (e.g., [email protected]).
2.2. Subject or body contains service-related keywords (e.g., “fault,” “installation,” “maintenance,” “repair,” specific compressor model references).
2.3. Email from whitelisted or business-associated email domains.
2.4. Attachments detected when maintenance logs or photos are required.
2.5. Out-of-office/Bounce-back filters avoid false triggers.
