Question
Why should I add multiple support addresses? How can I organize incoming tickets when I have separate support addresses?
Answer
To organize incoming tickets more efficiently, create separate email addresses for customer requests instead of using one general email address. For example, set up sales@yourcompany.com, bugs@yourcompany.com, and returns@yourcompany.com for collecting customer requests. Set up as many email addresses for tickets as you need or enable the wildcard emails option.
With multiple support addresses in place, process incoming emails based on the specific email address they were sent to.
For example, if you operate an online clothing store and need to manage returns from customers, avoid having them send return requests to your general support email. Instead, create an email address called returns@yourcompany.com and establish a business rule to automatically direct return tickets to your Returns Department.
For information about routing tickets to your agents, see the article: How can I route tickets to groups based on the support address they are received at?

Hey Peter, it looks like that post has since been archived due to the information being outdated. That post was created almost 7 years ago and the product has changed significantly since then. Apologies for the confusion!
I would recommend using our supported Select An Address app which will allow for you to select the email you'd like to reply from in your Support account.
I hope this helps!
