The ticket is created in Freshdesk as per your instructions, with the customer as the requester, the priority set and the full message in the ticket. ForwardThis can set the group or the agent too, and add a new contact if needed.

FAQs
- How do I create a Freshdesk ticket from an email?
- Forward the customer's email to your ForwardThis address with some simple instructions, like "raise this as an urgent ticket, with Priya as the requester". ForwardThis creates the ticket with the priority set and the customer as the requester, then replies to confirm. All you need is a free ForwardThis account with Freshdesk connected - it takes about 30 seconds.
- How does it know who the requester is?
- From the email itself. Forward a customer's message and ForwardThis uses their address for the requester, so the ticket belongs to the right person from the start. If the customer is new, ForwardThis can add the contact too.
- Can it set the priority, group or agent?
- Yes. Urgent, high, medium or low; the group it belongs to; and the agent it should be assigned to - all from the instructions in your forwarded email.
- Can it reply to the customer as well?
- It can, and because a sent reply cannot be unsent, ForwardThis always checks with you first and shows you the exact words before anything goes out.
- What if the ticket is wrong?
- The confirmation email includes an undo that works for 24 hours, which deletes the ticket. Freshdesk keeps deleted tickets in its trash, so even then nothing is beyond recovery.
- Does it work with Outlook and other email apps?
- Yes. ForwardThis works with any email provider: Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail and everything else. If it can forward an email, it works.
- What happens to my email afterwards?
- It gets deleted. ForwardThis holds your email briefly in case you press undo, then removes it completely. Nothing is stored long term.
