Connect your support email
Forward your existing support address to ChaosDesk so customer email becomes tickets.
Your workspace already has its own support address. To keep the address your customers know, such as support@example.com, forward it to ChaosDesk.
Set up forwarding
- In Admin Center, Channels, Brands & email, under Support addresses, choose Add address and enter
support@example.com. - In your email provider, forward that mailbox to the forwarding address shown under Your workspace addresses.
- Back in ChaosDesk, choose Verify forwarding for the address. We send a test message and confirm it arrived; the status turns Verified.
You can do the same from the Connect email step of the setup wizard, which has short guides for Gmail, Google Workspace, Outlook / Microsoft 365 and cPanel.
Send replies from your own domain
Verify your domain under Sending domains on the same page to send replies as support@example.com. ChaosDesk shows the DNS records to publish (DKIM and SPF, plus DMARC as a recommendation) and checks them when you choose Check DNS. Until the domain is verified, replies go out from your workspace address with your own address as Reply-To.
Good to know
- Replies thread onto the right ticket, and quoted text is stripped.
- Mail loops, auto-replies and suspected spam go to Suspended tickets instead of your views.
