Your emails are now tickets with a number and a deadline

Connect your support mailbox once. It's checked every minute, every new email creates a ticket with the customer's name and address, and the customer's reply to the same email is added to the same ticket. Your reply from the tickets screen reaches them from your own address.

The problem and the solution

The problem

A shared mailbox where nobody knows who replied to what

A customer's email is read and never answered because everyone assumed someone else would, a long exchange scattered across threads, and no deadline, no owner and no report.

The solution with Kauthar

Email enters the ticket system with all its rules

A ticket for every email with the deadline, automatic assignment and the default department you choose, and the ticket number in the subject [#12] links the customer's replies to it. Your reply carries your business's brand identity and the customer's language, with the tracking portal link, plus an optional acknowledgement email.

What you gain

What your business gets

  • Gmail, Outlook and any server

    Gmail, Outlook / Office 365, a mailbox hosted with us, or any server with manual settings; the password is stored encrypted and never shown again.

  • One ticket per exchange

    The customer's reply to the same email is added to the same ticket as long as its number is in the subject, and no duplicate tickets are opened. Auto-replies and newsletters are ignored.

  • Your reply from your address, in your identity

    It reaches the customer from the same address they wrote to, in your business's colour and logo and their language, with the ticket tracking portal link and attachments.

  • An acknowledgement with the ticket number

    Turn on the acknowledgement email so the customer knows their email became a numbered ticket, with the expected reply time if they wrote outside working hours.

Three steps

How it works

Real examples

How your business uses it

  • Service company

    support@ for a maintenance company: every email is a ticket in the maintenance department, assigned round-robin to the technicians, with the attachments (photos of the fault) inside the ticket.

  • Store

    Return emails from the online store become tickets with a deadline, and the agent's reply reaches the customer with the store's logo and a link to follow the resolution.

  • Training centre

    Admission enquiries by email go automatically to the “Admissions” department, and the customer replies to the same email so everything stays in one ticket.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why does Gmail reject the password?

Because Gmail requires an “app password”, not your account password: turn on two-step verification, create an app password and paste it without spaces, and make sure IMAP is enabled.

If the customer replies to my email, is a new ticket opened?

No, as long as the ticket number is in the subject (such as [#12]) the reply is added to the same ticket.

How many mailboxes can I connect?

One mailbox per business in the current version, available on the Pro and Business plans.

Is the email password stored?

It's stored encrypted and never shown again; if you leave the field empty when editing, it stays as it is.

What's the difference between support email and the business email service?

Support email turns emails into tickets in the help desk. “Business email” is a separate service with mailboxes on your domain and a unified inbox for your team.
