Step 2: Choose Trigger Type

  1. Enter a name for your workflow (e.g., Contact Form → Support Ticket).
  2. Under the Inbox tab, select New Message Received as the trigger.

Step 3: Define a Condition

  1. In the IF section:
    • Choose Subject.
    • Set condition to Contain.
    • Enter a keyword or phrase such as [Support], [Contact Form], or any subject you want to filter.

This ensures only relevant messages trigger the support ticket.

Step 4: Set Action to “Convert to Support Ticket”

  1. In the THEN section, choose Convert to Support Ticket.
  2. Fill in the required fields:
    • Subject: Use a static title or dynamic variable like {{email_subject}}.
    • Assignee: Assign the ticket to a support team member.
    • Priority: Select a priority level (Low, Medium, High).
    • Description: Use {{email_content}} to include the body of the email or enter a default message.

You can also tag the ticket or add additional actions like auto-reply or assign to a specific folder.

Step 5: Save and Activate

  1. Click Create Workflow to save your rule.
  2. Make sure the workflow is set to Active.

Whenever an email arrives matching the conditions, Taskip will automatically convert it into a support ticket with all the details filled in.
