RangerMSP Email Connector Module, which was introduced with version 4.3, automatically generates new service Tickets in RangerMSP from incoming customer emails. This feature saves time, reduces response time, and as a result increases customer satisfaction.
In addition, RangerMSP Email Connector provides you with an API for the system. This means that you can send XML formatted emails to the system and they will automatically be popped, parsed and processed. RangerMSP Email Connector pulls incoming emails from your POP3 mail server (including Microsoft® Exchange® servers), processes the email and performs one of the following actions: 1. Email to Ticket The Email to Ticket feature finds the RangerMSP Account/Contact which matches the "From" email address of the incoming email, and automatically creates a new Service Ticket in RangerMSP which is linked to the relevant Account. 2. API by Email This feature allows you to receive XML formatted emails that will be automatically analyzed by RangerMSP, which will then perform the necessary actions prescribed within them. This is an easy to use API for the entire RangerMSP system, which you can use to link to external systems, integrate with your web site so you can convert visitors into Contact records in RangerMSP, and more. From a technical perspective, RangerMSP Email Connector runs on your server as a Windows service and processes incoming emails from your mail server.
