0 Paul Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Just to add, if for no other reason than to take a few more wacks at this dead horse: My mobile email is set to my phone number @ my cell provider. Many cell providers provide an email to SMS gateway. Email the address, get a text message. In this way, the mobile emails go to my phone as a text message. Great for emergency support and orders. espservices and Michael 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I set a standard email to use when I'm on my desktop and the mobile email on my phone when Im on the road? Sorry but I really don't understand and cannot find anything about this on the docs.

You don't want to use it you don't need to use it. It's there if you have a separate email for your mobile phone. You can receive order confirmations and support tickets via that as-well so when you are out and about you can still receive information.

But I cannot see the login behind it. I have my main email setup both on my desktop and on my phone. In what use cases is the mobile mail useful? Can you give some examples?

So lets see if I understand: I can have my man email address setup on my desktop where I receive all emails. But on my phone I can have just the mobile mail setup and decide to just receive tickets on mobile phone. That way when Im on the road I just receive tickets emails, correct? So is the only purpose/objective of the mobile email to allow me to decide exactly what notifications I receive on my mobile phone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your effort to explain... but I still don't get the logic behind it. Maybe someone else can please explain this to me in a different way?

0 Tyson Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 tl;dr Sometimes staff don't like to be woken up at home. Example: Go to Support > Staff > Edit (one of the staff users). Notice that there are several checkboxes representing different ticket priorities you can select (e.g. "Emergency", "Critical", etc.) Some Staff may want to receive all of those ticket notifications to their work email at their work computer when they're at work. However, when they're at home sleeping, they may not want their phone to wake them up because of a ticket notification unless it is an "Emergency" ticket that they need to deal with. That page allows them to configure the ticket notice emails they will receive. The Order email is similar, but you configure your settings for that under Billing > Overview > (click the settings/gear icon at the top right of the Orders widget). espservices and Michael 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaks dor the advise! Will ask if my telecom provider has that feature. That use case scenario is the one that closest meet my needs.
