Enhance Helpdesk Support

Last modified: 17 December 2019

YouTrack provides three main features that let you use it as a helpdesk:

  • The Mailbox Integration, which pulls email messages from one or more email servers on a regular basis and processes them to create issues and comments.

  • Email Notifications, which let you send messages to any email address.

  • And, of course, Workflows, which help you glue it all together!

The basic flow that is supported in YouTrack works as follows:

  • A customer sends an email message to your support inbox. This creates a new issue in YouTrack.

  • A support engineer responds to the inquiry by adding a comment to the issue. This generates an email notification that is sent back to the customer as a reply to the original email.

  • The custom replies to the email notification. The response is processed by YouTrack and added as a comment to the original issue.

You can find a detailed description of this feature in our Helpdesk Tutorial.
