Sagicc can connect to your company's email account to capture all messages that your customers send to that email account. To set up a channel of this type, you must have access credentials (email and password) to the email account you want to connect to Sagicc. In addition, it is necessary for your email provider to enable IMAP services and provide you with the IMAP configuration of your account. With this information, Sagicc can capture all messages that arrive in the inbox of your email.
The information required for setting up an incoming email channel is as follows:
Email Provider: You can choose between Gmail/Google, Outlook/Office 365/Microsoft, or other providers. Depending on the selected provider, the required information may vary.
Incoming Server (IMAP): It usually has the form imap.myprovider.com or similar.
Port: 993 is the most common value, but it may vary depending on the provider.
Encryption Type: You can choose between SSL, TSL or None.
Validate Certificates: Activate or deactivate this option depending on the provider.
Username: It is the email address that is being associated, for example, customer service@mycompany.com.
Sign in with Outlook/Office 365/Microsoft (only for Outlook/Office 365/Microsoft accounts): This option allows you to securely sign in to your Outlook/Office 365/Microsoft email account. The necessary permissions will be requested to receive messages, establishing the connection between Sagicc and the provider.
Sign in with Google (only for Gmail/Google accounts): This option allows you to securely sign in to your Gmail/Google email account. The necessary permissions will be requested to receive messages, establishing the connection between Sagicc and the provider.
Password (exclusive to other providers): It is the password of the email account being associated.
Folder: It is the folder of the email account from which messages will be read. By default, it is the INBOX folder.
Character Encoding: By default, it is UTF-8.
Create a new ticket for each incoming email: Specify if you want Sagicc to generate a new ticket for each incoming email or if you want emails to be grouped in a single customer ticket.
Email Grouping: Specify whether incoming emails should be grouped into the same ticket based on a specific criterion. The grouping options are:
None
By subject: All emails from the same sender with the same subject will be grouped into a single ticket. This helps track specific topics and prevents information from being scattered across multiple tickets.
By thread: All emails that are part of the same conversation, including replies and forwards, will be grouped into a single ticket. This option enhances traceability and organization of extended exchanges, ensuring that all related interactions are centralized in one ticket.
For example, if your email provider is Gmail, the IMAP configuration may look like the following:
Incoming mail server: imap.gmail.com
Port: 993
Encryption Type: SSL
Account name, username or email address: test@gmail.com
Application Password: XFDW852ERW25FR2G
Default folder from which messages will be read: INBOX
Character Encoding: UTF-8
Once the channel is configured, Sagicc will begin capturing the information received by the configured email account.
Sagicc can send messages to your customers from a specific email account. To set up this type of channel, you must have the credentials (email address and password) of the email account you want to connect with Sagicc. In addition, it is necessary for your email provider to enable SMTP services and provide you with the SMTP configuration of your account. With this information, Sagicc can send emails using your email account.
The information required to configure an outgoing email channel is as follows:
Email Provider: You can choose between Gmail/Google, Outlook/Office 365/Microsoft or Other provider. Depending on the selected provider, the required information may vary.
Outgoing Server (SMTP): Typically, it has the form smtp.myprovider.com or similar.
Port: 465 is the most common value, but it may vary depending on the provider.
Encryption Type: You can choose between SSL, TSL, or None.
Validate Certificates: Activate or deactivate this option depending on the provider.
Username: It is the email address that is being associated, for example, customer.service@mycompany.com.
Sign in with Outlook/Office 365/Microsoft (only for Outlook/Office 365/Microsoft accounts): This option allows you to securely sign in to your Outlook/Office 365/Microsoft email account. The necessary permissions will be requested to send messages, establishing the connection between Sagicc and the provider.
Sign in with Google (only for Gmail/Google accounts): This option allows you to securely sign in to your Gmail/Google email account. The necessary permissions will be requested to send messages, establishing the connection between Sagicc and the provider.
Password (exclusive to other providers): It is the password of the email account being associated.
Sender's Email Address
Sender's Name
For example, if your email provider is Zoho Mail, the SMTP configuration may look like the following:
Outgoing mail server: smtp.zoho.com
Port: 465
Encryption Type: SSL
Account name, username, or email address: test@mydomain.com
Zoho Mail Password: mypassword123
Sender's email address for messages: technicalsupport@mydomain.com
Sender's name for messages: Technical Support
Once the channel is configured, agents can respond to email messages sent to the configured account directly from Sagicc.
