Forward Email Ticket 

In Comm100 Ticketing & Messaging, you can forward email tickets to people within and outside your organization.     

The feature helps streamline the customer's query where an email ticket requires suggestions or further analysis from other agents within an organization or from a user who does not have an account within Comm100.

Block Contact Identities 

The Comm100 Ticketing & Messaging allows your agents to block contact identities across different channels from Agent Console and Control Panel. By blocking contact identities, you can prevent unsolicited ticket messages from receiving to your agents.

Inline Image

Comm100 Ticketing & Messaging supports the inline image within the ticket messages of the Email channel. On the Comm100 agent console, having an inline image in the Email ticket message helps in understanding the context of the message that your contact wants to share with you.

You can choose to show or hide the inline images within the message. You need to select the Show Image icon against the image link. The image link is removed and replaced with an inline image.
