# Email to Ticket Guide

If you want to automatically turn incoming emails (e.g., <support@wrangle.io>) into Wrangle tickets in Slack, follow these steps:

***

{% hint style="info" %}
Emails can be turned into Wrangle tickets *only* if the sender of the email is an email associated with a Slack user in your workspace.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

### Step 1: Set Up Your Inbox Settings in Wrangle

1. Open the Wrangle dashboard and navigate to **Inboxes**. Then select the specific inbox you'd like to connect.
2. Select the inbox you want to use for email-to-ticket conversion.
3. Under **Ticket Lifecycle > Ticket Creation** there are two settings you'll want turned on:&#x20;

   1. Toggle on the option **"Create tickets for messages sent by bots"** to enable automatic ticket creation for forwarded emails.
   2. Make sure the first setting for how you'll turn messages into tickets is set to Turn new channel messages into tickets automatically&#x20;

* Click the channel name at the top of the Slack interface to open the channel details.

* Under the **Integrations** tab, scroll down to find the option **"Send emails to this channel"** (you may need to enable email integration for the channel if it’s not already set up).

### Step 3: Configure Your Email Provider to Forward Emails

1. Log in to your email provider (e.g., Gmail, Outlook) and open the settings for the email address you want to use (e.g., <support@wrangle.io>).
2. Set up **email forwarding** to automatically forward all incoming emails to the Slack channel email address you retrieved in Step 2.
   * In Gmail: Navigate to Settings > Forwarding and POP/IMAP > Add a Forwarding Address.
   * In Outlook: Navigate to Settings > Mail > Forwarding.
3. Test the forwarding rule to ensure emails are correctly routed to the Slack channel.

### Additional Notes:

* Emails forwarded to the Slack channel will appear as messages. With the **"Turn bot messages into tickets"** option enabled in Wrangle, these messages will automatically be converted into tickets.

* Ensure the forwarded emails contain clear and actionable information to make ticket creation more effective.
* If you’re using a shared inbox (e.g., <support@wrangle.io>), ensure everyone on your team knows that emails sent to this address will create tickets in Slack.
* The details and fuctionality are seamless in both Slack and the Wrangle Web App
