Setting Up Your SMTP Server and Your Ticketing System

Setting up the Digital DX AI ticketing system with your SMTP server is part of your initial configuration and setup process. The Digital DX AI ticketing system is the default ticketing system available to you, offering the ease of out-of-the-box technology, and automatically connecting to your knowledge base. The system also enables agents to leverage the Digital DX  AI knowledge base, meaning that they can provide full and accurate answers to customers in a speedy, efficient and timely manner.

There are three steps involved in setting up your ticketing system to function correctly and work in the most efficient manner possible:

  1. Setting up incoming mail
  2. Setting up outgoing mail
  3. Assigning Groups

Step 1: Setting up incoming mail

Once you have your Digital DX AI account, the first step in setting up your ticketing system is to configure your SMTP server to forward incoming customer support emails to the Digital DX AI ticketing system.

  1. Digital DX AI provides you with a default email address that will serve as the inbox address to be specified in your SMTP server. To access this default address, from your Digital DX AI dashboard, navigate to Admin Center > Ticketing Settings > Ticketing Basics.
  2. The default email address is displayed in the Inbox Address field.
    Note: If you have more than one Knowledge Base in your system that contains external information used by and relevant to customers, you have more than one default inbox email address and a separate procedure should be executed for each Knowledge Base.
  3. Configure your SMTP server to forward incoming email messages to the default Digital DX AI email inbox address.

Sending Ticketing to Specific Departments

You can further hone the scope of how customer support tickets are handled, by creating email ticketing specific to an internal department of the company, such as Sales, Marketing, IT Support or Billing.

  1. Create a specific Labels inbox for each department.
  2. Click Admin Center > Ticketing Settings > Ticketing Basics.
  3. Click the More Addresses link, under the default email address in Ticketing Basics. In the drop-down menu available, a unique Digital DX AI inbox address is shown for each label.
  4. Select the label you require. This enables you to configure your SMTP server and create a specific, drill-down email address for a specific internal department in our company, that are sub-set emails of the initial email address displayed in the previous procedure, and that you can configure in your SMTP server.
Important: You must create these labels prior to performing the setup procedure.

Step 2: Outgoing Mail

The next step is to specify how outgoing customer support mail is handled, by configuring your SMTP server for outgoing mail.

  1. From your Digital DX AI dashboard, navigate to Settings = > Ticketing = > Ticketing Basics and go to the Outgoing Mail section.
  2. Specify the following fields:
    • Sending email from: Enter the name you wish to appear as the sender of any customer support email in the first field, and the email address from which these emails should be sent. Note: These settings must also be configured in your SMTP server.
    • Ticket status on reply: Choose either Closed on first reply or Always Closed, according to your company's customer support policy.
  3. Select the Send emails through custom SMTP server checkbox.
  4. Enter your SMTP host, username and password, and select the Server requires authentication and Use secure connection (SSL) checkboxes according to your SMTP setup.
  5. Click Save Changes.

Digital DX AI then performs a verification of the entered SMTP settings to check that the SMTP server can function. The settings will only be saved once the verification has determined that they are correct. The verification may take a few minutes.

If the verification fails, a message is displayed, with an explanation as to why the SMTP settings were not saved.

Step 3: Assigning Groups

You can further subdivide labels into groups to easily manage which agent handles what kind of ticket. User groups help differentiate between agents and their responsibilities, by enabling permissions to a group that determines which tickets can be assigned to members of that group. To create a group, do the following:

  1. In the AI Console, go to Admin Center > Users.
  2. From the menu on the top, click Groups > Create Groups link to display the Group Editor.
  3. Click the settings icon to configure the group settings.
  4. On the Advanced tab, select whether tickets are assigned to all agents or agents only from a specific Knowledge Base.
  5. Optionally, select whether agents can see all tickets to "cherry-pick" those, see all tickets but can choose only certain tickets, or see only those tickets which are assigned to them.

What are the ticketing integration modes?

Digital DX AI supports all e-mail forwarding integrations, which can be used across CRM and ticketing systems such as Salesforce, Kayako, or Zendesk.

Digital DX AI supports two e-mail forwarding modes:

  • Advanced: each e-mail is forwarded to the CRM with a reply address to the Digital DX AI system. When the CRM system 'replies', the answer is saved in Digital DX AI and sent to the customer by Digital DX AI.
  • Basic: each e-mail is forwarded to the CRM as if it was sent from the customer himself (with the customer's e-mail as the actual reply-to address). The CRM 'replies' directly to the customer. The CRM can 'cc' the Digital DX AI inbox so that Digital DX AI to learn the answer.

The email forwarding integration can be set under: Admin Center > Ticketing Settings > Ticketing Basics tab and then select 3rd party integration.

HTML Form submission to ticket

You can create an HTML form and submit it as a ticket to your Bold360 AI inbox.

Your Bold360 AI inbox will receive a ticket, containing all the fields that are part of the submitted form.

Below is an example of an HTML form that submits a ticket to the Bold360 AI inbox:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Create ticket API (Custom Contact-Form)</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="https://my.Nanorep.com/common/api/createTicket" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Subject: <input type='text' name='subject' value='This is the title of the ticket' 
/><br />
Body: <textarea name="body">This is the body of the ticket</textarea><br />
Email: <input type='text' name='email' value='test@company.com' /><br />
Name: <input type='text' name='name' value='johnny' /><br /> <!-- name custom field. You can create as many fields as you like. -->
Phone: <input type='text' name='phone' value='123456' /><br /> <!-- phone custom field. You can create as many fields as you like. -->
Label: <select name='labelId'> <!-- label selection by the dropdown selection-->
<option value='-1'>Select the inquiry type:</option>
<option value='12F1BE'>Billing</option> <!-- The value of the label (Label ID) can be obtained in the Bold360 ai inbox.  -->
<option value='78907B'>Support</option>
<option value='103C8C'>General</option>
<option value='9E0A'>Sales</option>
</select><br />
<div id='textD'></div> <input type="hidden" name='account' value='Nanorep' /> <!-- Enter your Bold360 ai account name --> <input type="hidden" name='kb' value='8CB9462F7AB2120' /> <!-- The target knowledge-base / inbox --> <input type="hidden" name='security_token' value='8CB9462F7AB2120' /> <!-- Please do not modify --> <input type="hidden" name='success_redirection_url'  value="/common/api/nonProtocolCreateTicketResponse.html" /> <!-- success url redirection -->
<input type="submit" value="submit"/>
</form>
</body>

The HTML form should meet the following requirements:

  1. The form must contain the four hidden fields (account, KB, security_taken and success_redirection_url).
  2. The form should POST to https://my.Nanorep.com/common/api/createTicket
  3. The KB is the target knowledge-base. The KB ID can be obtained by clicking on Admin Center > Ticketing Settings > Ticketing Basic.
  4. The security_token should be the same as the knowledge base.

The ticket will be available in the Bold360 AI inbox and will include all the fields, which will be displayed under the ticket Details section.

How to limit agents to certain tickets (based on labels)?

When either of the 'take' options is selected in the ticketing permissions (View and take selected labels or Take selected labels), the agent will only have access to specific labels.

For example:In our last example ; For the Support group, we already selected the ticketing permission "View and take selected labels". Because we chose one of our 'take' options, the lables' table opens to choose labels. In our case, we chose only one label: the "Support" label. We chose it since we want all tickets labeled as "Support" to be viewed and taken by Dan, Roy and David, our support agents. We still need to set the ticket assignments abilities. This can be done once the group is created and we associated our agents, Dan, Roy and David with the "Support" group. These steps will be described next.

For example: Suppose we set a rule to label (action="Add label") tickets from our pricing page URL as "Sales"

How can I configure a spam filter?

You can set a rule to automatically close tickets created in the inbox. You can use it to close spam tickets in advance or any other unnecessary tickets you can predict by keywords, contact form fields, URL from which the ticket was sent, and so on.

For example:Suppose we set a rule to close tickets (action="Change ticket status - Closed") that contain the word "test" in the body or title, so internal tickets we use will automatically be closed.

How do I apply a default signature based on the type of an incoming ticket?

Add the action "Apply default signature" to the rule, and select the signature of your choosing from the drop down menu to apply a specific signature to a ticket.

When a user opens the ticket to write a response, the specified signature is automatically selected for that user.

How do I forward a ticket?

If you want the ticket answered by a non-agent, you can forward it by email by clicking the 'Forward button' and fill in the email address.

Once this person answers the question, the answer is added to the 'Publish answers' section in the 'Publish' where it can be uploaded to the online knowledge base (or edited and then uploaded).

What is a rule location (Which rule should be triggered first?)

Rules location is there to prioritize the system rule checking in the trigger. Once a trigger starts, such as 'a ticket is created in the inbox', the system checks for rules in the trigger.

When just one rule applies for the ticket, tickets' location is irrelevant.

For example: Suppose you have a rule that determines when a ticket's title or body contains "support", it is assigned to "Support" and when a ticket's title or body contains "new" it is assigned to "New". If no tickets contain both "Support" and "New" there's no problem, each is assigned to its respective assignee.

But sometimes, more than one rule applies.

The rules are processed in order. Once a rule is successful, the system executes the actions defined in the rule and then continues checking for and running other rules that also apply. For example: Suppose you have a rule that determines that all tickets are assigned to "Support" (you decided not to use any condition) and a rule that determines when a ticket's title or body contains "new" it is assigned to "New". A ticket that contains "new" is assigned to both "Support" and "New".

When more than one rule applies, the decision which rules to execute is made by 2 variables: the 'Continue processing rules / Stop processing rules' drop-down in the rule itself and the location of the rule in the trigger.

If it weren't for the 'Stop processing rules' option inside the rule, rules' location would still have no meaning. BUT, the option does exist. At the bottom of each rule, there's a drop-down list with 2 choices: either you choose 'Continue processing rules' or 'Stop processing rules'. Choosing to 'stop' means that once the current rule applies for the ticket, the system will stop checking if lower located rules apply for the ticket as well (but higher located rules will be counted). Choosing the 'Continue' option means the system will continue checking for lower located rules.

For example:

Let's go back to our last example; what happens with a ticket that contains both "support" and "new"? The "Support" rule comes first, and then the "New " rule.

If we choose to "Continue" in the 'Support' rule, then the ticket is assigned to both "Support" and "New" (because we continued the check to the next rule that applies, the "New" rule). If we choose the 'Stop' option, the ticket will only be assigned to "Support" (because we stopped checking after executing the rule). If it would have been the other way around and the "New" rule would have been first, then the ticket would have been assigned only to "New" - That is why rules numbers within a trigger has significant meaning.

The rule location in the trigger should be defined in order of importance.

If the rules before a given rule have no relations to it (so there is no chance that a trigger might trigger it as well), or you don't mind that those rules will also be executed, then the decision is easy: just number it however you like.

However, if you want a rule to be executed alone, with no other rules in the trigger to be also executed, then you must define the rule first and then choose the "stop" option in the bottom drop-down inside the rule.

Remember: You can always change rule location to suit your needs.

What is a Condition (Rule Engine)?

A rule may have zero or more conditions. Conditions are defined by:

Operand
This is 'what' is being evaluated. E.g.: Ticket title, post body, label name, etc.
Operator
This is the comparison to check, e.g.: equals, contains, etc.
Value
This is the value to compare it with.

What is a trigger (Rule Engine)?

Triggers are repetitive system behaviors, such as the commonly used trigger 'a ticket is created in the inbox', that trigger different actions to assign the ticket that was created to a certain agent, forward it, label it and so on. The triggers available for your use are:

  • When a ticket is created in the inbox
  • When a end user sends a reply
  • When an agent sends a reply
  • When a ticket is closed or opened
  • When a ticket is assigned or labeled

How to define an auto-response email template?

You can create templates for an auto-response email to a ticket. The template is created via the ticketing system's rules, so you can create different templates for different conditions (as per the source email, the ticket title, etc). You can also define different outgoing e-mail settings to different Knowledge Bases.

  1. Go to Admin Center > Ticketing Settings > Rules.
  2. Under when new ticket is created, click + Add Rule.
  3. Define the relevant conditions per e-mail template.
  4. Select Send email and then click Edit email.

    Result: The Edit Email dialog is displayed.

  5. Define the template and save it.

How can I tell how a ticket I see in Bold360 AI's ticketing system was opened?

You can use the Bold360 AI ticketing system to process customer escalations. Customer queries can end up in your Bold360 AI ticketing system in a number of ways:

  • Direct email sent to your Bold360 AI inbox address , such as XXXXXXXXX.inbox@your_account_name.nanorep.in
  • Email sent to your main support address (for example, support@your_company.com) and then forwarded to your Bold360 AI inbox
  • Ticket generated from one of the contact forms that you can setup in Bold360 AI

To see the origin of the ticket, proceed as follows:

  1. Go to Ticketing > All tickets in Bold360 AI.
  2. Click on a ticket to see its details.

    Result: You are taken to the ticket's details.

  3. In the Details section on the right, check the Opened Via field for the necessary information.

How do I set an outgoing e-mail?

When an agent responds to a ticket, the user who sent the ticket gets an answer e-mail. This is the 'Outgoing e-mail'. For each knowledge base an outgoing email settings need to be created and selected.

For more information, see How do I configure the outgoing email settings (SMTP server configuration)?

Do you have tickets' rules?

Ticket rules are a set of conditions that allow you to automate different actions to occur once a ticket's trigger is activated and, this way, to add your business logic to the ticketing system. It is intended for routing tickets or ticket management purposes.

By providing a variety of triggers, conditions and actions, the Rule Engine allows you to tailor the ticketing system logic to your needs so that you can control labels, assign users, sending auto-responses and alert emails, and so on. Rules are meant to save you the time of doing those actions that follow the trigger repeatedly.

Here are some rules that can be easily added:

  • Send auto responses to your incoming emails
  • Assign incoming tickets to specific agents and department based on incoming ticket contents or subject
  • Send alerts when tickets are assigned to users, or change their status
  • Close or Reopen tickets based on activity

Example:

A new campaign, let's call it 'new', has started. This campaign has its own agents handling all interactions regarding it. One of the first things you want to do is automatically assign all tickets regarding 'new' to the 'new' team.

Announcements

Genesys DX/Bold360 End of Life: January 2024

The Genesys DX (Bold360) platform will end of life on January 31st, 2024. This difficult decision was announced in March, 2023.  

Genesys continues to make a strong commitment to Genesys Cloud, while tightening the portfolio to further accelerate feature growth on the platform. Part of that included bringing over key Genesys DX features to Genesys Cloud CX, such as Knowledge Optimizer that focuses on ease-of-use knowledge management. Digital only licenses for Genesys Cloud were also introduced late last year, which are suitable to those who are not looking for voice capabilities or who need agent seats that only feature support for digital channels. 

Details on the end of life timeline

As of January 31st, 2024, access to Genesys DX product interfaces and customer-deployed components stop to function. Users will no longer be able to log into product interfaces, and all of the boldchat/bold360/nanorep domains will become unavailable for use. If you are curious on what the code on your website related to this might look like and how to remove it, we encourage referencing this post on the DX community

After January 31st, 2024, admins will still be able to get access for an additional 30 days. This period is meant to allow for extracting the necessary data from the platform. Historical data extraction from your account will be available to retrieve by data extraction APIs (Bold360 APIs and Nanorep APIs).
