Getting Started

Welcome to the Help Desk MX documentation.

Here you will find everything you need to set up your Help Desk service and create a flexible customer service, which will boost up your support.

Our extension provides you with a single point of handling all queries, emails, offline chat messages, and other contact sources. Each of them will be turned into either a separate thread or added to an already created one. It will greatly help you to communicate with customers and provide them with the speedy support they need.

Tickets can later be collected and analyzed via reports, which will also help you to build a better support strategy and improve your services and products.

Go ahead, dive in!

Quick Start

Our Help Desk MX extension is a simple yet powerful extension for building and boosting your customers' support. Most of its functions work out-of-box, but for full productivity, several settings can be tuned up.

1. Start by establishing an organizational structure for support. All staff members (they're regular backend users, defined at System -> Permissions -> All Users) should be registered in their corresponding Department. Each staff member's Permission can be defined to ensure proper duties separation.

2. Establish an Email Gateways service. This allows customers to place tickets and communicate via email. It will include two additional steps:

   • Enable IMAP access on your mailbox(es). If you're using a two-step authorization service (which is provided by GMail, for example), you also will need to create a special password for application, which you will use in Gateway;
   • Set your Gateways mailboxes as Sender Email in the corresponding Department. It is crucial that you create a full cycle of email flow.

3. Create a ticketing workflow. Each stage of ticket resolving is marked by corresponding Status. Our extension provides a set of legal statuses out-of-box, but you may also extend or even define your statuses.

4. Create a ticket ranking system. Our extension provides a Priorities dictionary, which contains standard priorities that allow it to rank tickets by their urgencies. You may also extend it or define your set of priorities.

5. If you have a set of standard questions or situations that require typical answers, create Quick Responses to help speed up support in these cases.

6. If you need customers to supply additional information upon ticket submission, use our Custom Fields. In the same vein, you can create additional internal properties for tickets that can speed up your staff members' interoperability - for example, case details, intermediate results, and so on.

7. Observe your tickets flow, and if you encounter spamming, eliminate it by adding Spam Patterns. They will be used by our email fetch submodule to cut off spammers.

8. Automate your regular tasks with our Workflow Rules, with an extensive set of conditions allowing you to automate almost every routine task.

9. Review your support productivity, using our Reports, and adjust your policy, making your support correspond with customers' demands.

This should be a good beginning.

Refer to appropriate sections of our manual to find out more info.

Configuration Settings

Go to the Customers > Help Desk MX > Settings. There you will find all Help Desk MX setting, divided into the following sections:

• General Settings
• Feedback Tab
• Email Notification Settings
• Customer Satisfaction Survey
• Customer Account
• Reports
• Developer Settings
• Notification Settings

General Settings

It contains the most available options you can use for global Help Desk configuration.

Feedback Tab

This section governs a special pop-up dialog activated at the side button "Contact Us" button, visible on each store page. The pop-up enables the customer to submit a ticket with a source link to the page from where it was placed. The Feedback Tab is a convenient way to post a guest ticket or a ticket about a particular product or service page.

Email Notification Settings

This section governs templates which are used for email notifications. Each option corresponds with a specific type of email sent to customers or staff on a certain event.

Customer Satisfaction Survey

The satisfaction survey is an additional block displayed both on email notifications and in messages in frontend. It features three base rate classes and allows you to measure the clients' satisfaction level.

Customer Account

It contains options that manage a policy of ticket submission for registered customers.

Reports

This section contains only one option - Solved Statuses. This list box allows you to set custom ticket Statuses, which will be used by the Help Desk MX reporting subsystem to determine how many tickets were resolved for a certain period.

Ticket reports can be seen at Customers -> Help Desk MX -> Reports.

Working Hours

The section contains the Working Hours display options. For more information on this topic, see Working Hours

Developer Settings

Normally, these options should be used only in a staging environment. Make sure that they are turned off after moving to production. For example, if Sandbox remains enabled, customers won't receive any email notification.

Notification Settings

This section manages desktop notifications used for real-time information about the ticket's arrival or update. On heavy-loaded systems, this can cause production loss - so in this case, you need to disable this feature, or increase the check period to 500-600 secs.

Extended Settings

This section manages desktop notifications used for real-time information about the ticket's arrival or update. On heavy-loaded systems, this can cause production loss - so in this case, you need to disable this feature, or increase the check period to 500-600 secs.

Departments

To work correctly, the Help Desk MX requires you to have at least one department where all staff members are registered.

Creating a New Department

To create a new department, go to the Customers > Help Desk MX > Departments backend page. Press the button Add New. You will see the following properties in two sections:

General Information

• Title - name of the department.
• Is Active - whether the department is active.
• Is Shown at the Frontend - If the option is enabled, customers can select this Department upon submitting new tickets.
• Sort Order - sort order, in which departments are shown in drop-down selection menus.
• Sender Email - Email address will be used as From when a member of this department replies to a ticket, so the customer can directly reply to email notifications. Such replies will be automatically fetched and added to tickets only when the corresponding mailbox is registered as a Gateway.
• Members of Department - List of agents assigned to a department. They are regular backend users, defined at System -> Permissions -> All Users. The agent can also be registered in multiple departments.
• Stores - Sets the store's view or views where this department shall be used for assigning tickets.

Notification

• If a ticket is unassigned, send notifications to all department members - If this option is activated, all agents (all agents in all departments) will receive notifications (i.e., new messages) about unassigned tickets (including notifications about new tickets).

• If a ticket is unassigned, send some notifications via email (deprecated) - You can receive notifications (new messages) about unassigned tickets (including notifications about new tickets) via email.

Email Gateways

Help Desk MX can automatically fetch emails from your email account and convert them into tickets. To enable this feature, you have to connect your email account with Help Desk using Gateway, and enable cron.

All Gateways have their Grid, at Customers -> Help Desk MX -> Gateways, where you can create, edit and remove Gateways.

Creating New Gateway

Go to the Customers -> Help Desk MX -> Gateways backend page. Press the button Add New and fill in the following properties:

• Title - the internal title of the gateway. You can use any phrase.
• Email - the email address of your mailbox
• Login - the login to your mailbox
• Password - the password to your mailbox. If you have set a two-step authentication, you need to generate a special password to apply and use instead of your regular one. Here is how it can be done for GMail.
• Is Active - whether Gateway is active. Our cron task fetches emails via a registered mailbox only when it is activated here.
• Host - the hostname of your mail server
• Folder - is a special field which forces Help Desk MX to fetch emails only from a specific folder inside the mailbox. Typically this option is used when the Help Desk shares a mailbox with some other service or extension.
• Protocol - the protocol used by your mail server (IMAP or POP3)
• Encryption - the encryption method used by your mail server
• Port - the port used by your mail server
• Fetch Frequency (minutes) - how often the help desk should fetch new emails from your mailbox
• Fetch Max - the maximum number of fetched emails per one connection to your email server
• Fetch Only X Last Emails - can be useful for some mailboxes. Leave empty to disable this feature.
• Remove emails after fetching - makes our extension remove emails after fetching them.
• Auto-assign tickets to Store View - allows you to automatically set a storeview for tickets created from emails on this Gateway. It is extremely useful for multi-stores and separating staff duties.
• Auto-assign tickets to department - allows you to automatically set tickets created for the Department from emails on this Gateway. It is extremely useful in separating staff duties.
• Notes - any additional notes.

Our extension supports the following types of encryption:

• SSL - Secure Sockets Layer, used in most public mail servers, like Gmail.
• TLS - Transport Layer Security, used in private mail servers. Our extension supports both TLS with or without certificate validation.

Checking Gateway Mailbox

You can check Gateway's current status by pressing the Debug button at the top menu ribbon.

This button will start our special script, to connect to your mailbox using the provided credentials, and display the following data:

• Number of emails in your mailbox
• Subjects of last 10 emails and their status (read/unread).

The debug page is used to troubleshoot fetching issues. Read more here.

Statuses

Statuses mark the different stages of a ticket's resolution. Our extension provides three default variations:

• Open - assigned at the stage of creating a ticket or in its initial message reply;
• In Progress - assigned after further replies.
• Closed - assigned when the ticket is counted as resolved.

If you wish, you can create a set of statuses. If so, you also need to include them to your tickets workflow using the following options:

• Set initial status, which is assigned to the ticket upon its creation, at Help Desk MX -> Settings -> General Settings -> Status for new tickets
• Choose statuses, which will automatically move tickets to the Archive, at Help Desk MX -> Settings -> General Settings -> Move Ticket to Archive if it has one of the following statuses.
• Choose statuses which will mark tickets as resolved at Help Desk MX -> Settings -> Reports -> Solved Statuses.

You can also assign different statuses, using Workflow Rules, or by setting a reminder for a ticket.

Creating New Status

To create a new status, go to the Customers > Help Desk MX > Statuses backend page. Press the button Add New. You will see the following settings:

• Title - label of the status.
• Code - unique code of the status. It can contain only letters, digits, and underscore.
• Sort Order - sorting order, in which statuses will be displayed on a drop-down selection menu.
• Color - the color of the status label (used for better visualization in Grid)
• Stores - sets the store view or views where the status will be used for ticket workflow.

Priorities

Priorities are used to rank tickets by their urgency (or other metrics you are using). Our extension comes with three default priorities:

• Low
• Medium
• High

If you think you can create your priority set, you also need to include them in your tickets workflow using the following options:

• Set the initial priority for tickets assigned on their creation at Help Desk MX -> Settings -> General Settings -> Priority for new tickets.

You can also assign different priorities using Workflow Rules, or by setting a reminder for a ticket.

Creating New Priority

To create a new priority, go to the Customers > Help Desk MX > Priorities backend page. Press the button Add New. You will see the following settings:

• Title - Label of the priority.
• Sort Order - sorting order, in which priorities will display at the drop-down selection menu.
• Color - the color of priority label (used for better visualization in a Grid)
• Stores - sets the store's view or views where this priority can be used for ticket workflow.

Quick Responses

Quick Responses are message templates which are used to give stereotypical answers to queries about tickets. They are visible only by staff and used only as answers to customers' questions, which are found at the backend Ticket Edit Page.

For detailed information on how to use Quick Response, refer to the How to Reply to a Ticket section.

Creating Quick Response

To create a new quick response, go to the Customers > Help Desk MX > Quick Responses backend page. Press the button Add New. You'll see the following properties:

• Internal Title - the internal title of the quick response. Customers will not see it.
• Is Active - whether this Quick Response is active will be displayed at the Ticket Edit page.
• Template - text of the quick response. This text will be inserted into the reply field. You can use the following variables here:
  • [ticket_customer_name] - Customer's full name.
  • [ticket_customer_email] - Customer's email address.
  • [ticket_code] - Ticket number (eg. #TX-234234).
  • [store_name] - Name of the store.
  • [user_firstname] - Agent's first name.
  • [user_lastname] - Agent's last name.
  • [user_email] - Agent's email address.
• Stores - Store views where this quick response can be used. If you have multiple languages, you need to have different quick responses for different store views.

Custom Fields

Help Desk MX allows you to create custom fields. You can use them to store any additional information about tickets. You can set it up where you would like to show some custom fields, and can filter and search tickets by custom fields.

Creating New Custom Field

To create a new custom field, go to the Customers > Help Desk MX > Custom Fields, and press the button Add New. You will see the following properties:

• Title - Name of the field.
• Code - Internal code of the field. It can contain only letters, digits, and the underscore.
• Type - Field's type. The following types are possible:
  • Text - One line text field.
  • Multi-line text - Multiple lines text field (textarea).
  • Date - Date with calendar.
  • Checkbox
  • Drop-down list
• Description - Field's description.
• Options list - Used only for fields with the 'drop-down list' type. Enter each value from the new line using the format:

  value2 | label2

• Active
• Sort Order
• Show value in customer account - If the option is enabled, the field's value will be shown in the customer's account (ticket's page).
• Show in creating ticket form - If the option is enabled, the field will be shown in the customer's account (create new ticket form).
• Show in contact-us form - If the option is enabled, the field will be shown in the contact form and the feedback tab.
• Required for customers - If the option is enabled, customers will be required to fill in this field when they create a new ticket.
• Required for staff - If the option is enabled, agents will be required to fill in this field when they create a new ticket or reply.
• Stores

Custom fields can also be used in email templates by their codes. For a detailed description, see the How to customize email notifications template section.

Spam filters

The Help Desk MX allows you to filter incoming emails automatically and cuts off spammers. It is done via special patterns to which emails are compared, and if a match is found - the corresponding message moves to the Spam folder.

How to Create Spam Pattern

To create a new spam pattern, go to Customers > Help Desk MX > SPAM Pattern. Press the button Add New. You will see the following properties:

• Title - Internal title of spam pattern.
• Is Active The period from which the spam pattern starts being active till it stops being active.
• Scope - Sets an email field that will be checked for a matching pattern. You can set the following areas:
  • Headers - Service information that is generated by email client while sending the email.
  • Subject - Subject of the email.
  • Body - Main text of the letter or email.
• Pattern - Expression in which an email is considered spam. The pattern supports regular expression, see Regular Expressions. Patterns must be covered in slashes A useful service in testing patterns can be found here.

Examples Of Spam Patterns

Permissions

The permission grid provides the backend agents with the ability to limit access to tickets. It promotes the separation of duties and can boost effectiveness.

Go to Customers > Help Desk MX > Permissions. Here you can add restrictions for each role, defined on a particular Magento store. By default, there is only one record which allows full access to all agents:

That means that any staff member has access to tickets from all departments, and any user can delete tickets.

Administrators can edit this record and add additional ones to set up the correct permissions.

Workflow Rules

The Workflow Rules allow you to automate your task routines.

Each rule is bound to a certain event, contains a set of conditions - which an average ticket needs to meet - and an action that should be executed if the conditions are met. Here is a list of the most frequently used examples:

• Automatically assigns any ticket to your expert staff members depending on the subject;
• Automatically assigns any ticket to a certain department;
• Auto-sets up a ticket's status to 'In Progress' after the first reply of a support team member;
• Creates a custom notification for both staff and customers;
• Creates a special reminder, which requires more complex conditions than follow-up reminders.

The possibilities are nearly endless. Please, check this blog post for detailed information on https://mirasvit.com/blog/how-to-streamline-workflow-with-a-unique-help-desk-mx-rules-feature.html.

Also, a set of useful examples can be found in Workflow Rule Examples section.

Creating Workflow Rule

Rule creation is quite complex; therefore, we will divide this section into five respective subsections:

• General Settings
• Events
• Conditions
• Actions
• Notifications

General Settings

Here are the basic properties that manage rules execution:

• Rule Name - a logical name for a rule.
• Active - verifies whether the rule is active or not.
• Stop Further Rules Processing - If multiple rules are defined for the same event, this option can help control their execution (see below).

Events

Each Workflow rule shall be bound to an event. These are the following possible events:

• New ticket is created - this is triggered upon ticket creation, but before any reply (including initial) is added.
• New Reply from Customer - this is triggered when a new reply from a customer appears.
• New Reply from Staff - this is triggered when a new reply from a staff appears.
• New Reply from Third Party - this is triggered when a new reply from a third-party appears.
• Ticket Assigned to Staff - this is triggered when a ticket owner changes his or her ticket.
• Ticket Was Changed - this is triggered whenever any change is done to a ticket (added message, changed status or priority, or even changed custom field).
• Ticket Was Converted to RMA - this is triggered when a ticket is converted to RMA. This event can be used only when Mirasvit RMA extension is installed.
• Check Every Hour - this is triggered by our cron task. Make sure that the cron is enabled when using this event.

Conditions

Each rule can contain conditions that allow you to determine whether the rule can be applied to the tickets or not, as is listed below:

• Subject - the title on a ticket
• Last message body - the contents of the last public message left on a particular ticket
• Created at - the date a ticket was created
• Updated at - the date of a ticket's latest update (e. g. new message appeared, or properties changed)
• Store - this is the place the ticket was submitted into (note: this condition does not properly detect backend-created tickets, as they can be bound to any store. If you wish to detect backend creation, you need to use the Ticket Source condition in addition).
• Priority (before change) - a priority which a particular ticket has before the ending of the event (used only for Ticket was changed event)
• Priority - current ticket priority
• Status (before change) - the status of a particular ticket before the end of an event (used only for Ticket was changed eve
• Status - current ticket status
• Department (before change) - the department to which a particular ticket was assigned before the end of an event (used only for a Ticket was changed event)
• Department - current ticket department
• Owner (before change) - the person who held a particular ticket before an event ended (used only for a Ticket was changed event)
• Owner - current ticket owner
• Last Reply By - who gave the last reply on this ticket: Customer or Staff agent
• Last Reply Type - the type of message last left on the ticket. Can be of the following types (refer to How to Reply to a Ticket for more information):
  • Public Reply
  • Internal Note
  • Message from Third Party
  • Internal Message from Third Party
• Hours since Created - a period from the creation of a particular ticket (note: this condition is not precise, use equal or greater or equal or lesser comparators here)
• Hours since Updated - the period from the latest update of a particular ticket (note: this condition is not precise, use equal or greater or equal or lesser comparators here)
• Hours since the Last Reply - the period from when the last message appeared on a particular ticket (note: this condition is not precise, use equal or greater or equal or lesser comparators here)
• Tags - the tags associated with a particular ticket in the Additional tab of the Tags field.
• Ticket Source -the creation source of a ticket, which has four options: Email, Backend, Contact Tab , Contact Form and Customer Account.

If there is a custom field, it can also be used as a condition. Each field will be listed in two forms: a standard field value and "before changed," especially for Tickets, which has changed event-- e.g., if the field is Telephone, then conditions will be Telephone and Telephone (before change), respectively.

Conditions can be organized into groups using a mode selector, which appears as a separate condition Conditions Combination. It allows for the creation of very complex rule sets.

Actions

Each rule also contains actions that should be executed if a ticket has met its conditions. For now, supported are the following:

• Set Status - changes the status of the ticket applied.
• Set Priority - changes the priority of the ticket applied.
• Set Department - changes the department of the ticket applied.
• Set Owner - changes the owner of the ticket applied.
• Archive - moves the ticket to the archive.
• Add Tags - automatically allows for adding of tags upon the triggering of a rule.
• Remove Tags - automatically allows the removal of tags upon the triggering of a rule.

Notifications

This rule definition section allows for the creation of custom email notifications, which are sent upon the triggering of a rule.

To establish a custom notification, you can use the following options:

• Send email to ticket owner - notification should be sent to the current ticket assignees.
• Send email to all department users - notification should be sent to all users registered in the ticket's department.
• Send email to customer - notification is sent to the customer
• Send email to other email addresses - notifications are sent to a specified email address.
• Email Subject - the subject of the email notification.
• Email Body - the body of the email notification.

  Note

  Email Body shall contain only the message that should be sent as notification. A full template of such an email can be set at Help Desk MX -> Email Notification Settings -> Template of Rule Notification. Refer to the How to create a custom Notification Email section for more info.
• Attach files previously attached to the last message - indicates whether the notification will include an attachment from the last reply to the ticket.

Satisfaction Widgets

Beginning from version 1.1.84, we have added two widgets:

• Helpdesk Satisfaction Block - this shows the current satisfaction rate. It allows you to set the URL to another page with the last 100 satisfaction reviews or other information.
• Helpdesk Satisfaction List - display last 100 satisfaction reviews

General Information

You can use API to attract customers and increase sales rate in your store. At this point, you can simultaneously use Help Desk MX from external tools that work on separate servers and use other programs, which includes the use of mobile applications. Using Help Desk MX a store can get a single point of handling all queries, emails, offline chat messages, and other contact sources.

To get the full list of available GraphQL APIs, check GraphQL Reference.

GraphQL Objects Reference

The full documentation on GraphQL is available on the Magento DevDocs page GraphQL Developer Guide

Prerequisites

Your store should have installed the module Help Desk MX. In order to begin using GraphQL in the Help Desk MX module it is mandatory to install Helpdesk GraphQl for Magento 2 module. It is not available separately, but it can be installed after the purchase of Help Desk MX.

After you have installed the module Helpdesk Graph Ql, open command line interface and go to the directory with your Magento setup. Run command composer require mirasvit/module-helpdesk-graph-ql and after it finishes activate Helpdesk Graph Ql module with command bin/magento module:enable Mirasvit_HelpdeskGraphQl.

In the end run bin/magento setup:upgrade to avoid errors regarding the unavailability of the module's data.

Managing Tickets

This section contains all you need to do to manage tickets from the backend (i.e. by acting as an Agent). There you will find the following topics addressed:

• Working with Tickets Grid
• How to Create New Ticket
• How to Reply to a Ticket
• How to Set Reminder for Ticket
• How to Use Additional Info of Ticket
• How to Set Satisfaction Survey to the Ticket

Working with Tickets Grid

The main part of the Help Desk MX extension is the Ticket Grid. It is located at Customers > Help Desk MX and contains a list of all tickets submitted by customers. It is also divided into three separate folders (by default all tickets are shown):

• Inbox - contains all active tickets (e.g. those which have not been sent to the archive).
• Archive - contains all archived tickets.
• SPAM - contains all tickets, marked as SPAM.

Normally, tickets are sent to a proper folder automatically by two checks:

• If a ticket's properties match one of Spam Patterns, then the ticket is sent to the SPAM folder;
• If a ticket's status is one that is defined in Help Desk MX -> Settings -> General Settings -> Move Ticket to Archive if it has one of the following statuses, it will be sent to Archive.

The same action can also be done manually or by using a **Workflow Rule.

Near the drop-down account menu (see screenshot below), the ticket counter is shown.

It consists of two values:

• Quantity of New tickets, located in the Inbox folder, but not linked to the assignee yet.
• Quantity of tickets, located in the Inbox, and assigned to a current staff agent.

The Ticket Grid also provides you with some practical actions.

• Standard Magento Grid actions such as filtering (using Filter section), altering columns display (using Columns section) and sorting tickets by columns;
• Search box allows you to search for tickets by its properties (mainly, Ticket ID, Subject, Messages or Tags);
• Mass actions that can be performed on selected tickets:
  • Change Status. Statuses which are assigned here can be defined in the Statuses section.
  • Change Assignee. Modify the current assignee of the ticket. Select a new owner from the dropdown list available after clicking the "Change Assignee" action.
  • Mark as Spam. Moves tickets to the Spam Folder;
  • Mark as Archive. Moves tickets to the Archive Folder;
  • Mark as Inbox. Moves tickets to the Inbox Folder (e. g. restores ticket);
  • Delete. Remove tickets.

How to Create New Tickets

1. To create a new ticket from backend, go to the Customers > Help Desk MX. Press the button Create New Ticket. The ticket creation page contains three sections: General, Additional, Follow Up. Their fields will be covered below;
2. For ticket creation purpose, you are required to fill in only the fields below - all others are non-mandatory:
   • To - contains the email of the customer for whom the ticket is created. If that customer is registered, you can type his or her name in this field - and the email will be automatically selected;
   • Subject - the subject of this ticket;
   • Status - the initial status of this ticket. Statuses listed in this drop-down select can be defined in the Statuses section.
   • Priority - initial priority, which this ticket should have. Priorities listed in this drop-down select can be defined in the Priorities section.
   • Assignee - staff member that is in charge of this ticket. Members are defined in the System -> Permissions -> All Users section, but in order to appear, they should also be assigned to proper departments in the Departments sections.
3. Initial reply at the stage of ticket creation is not required. However, you can still use the Reply Area to leave such a message. Refer to How to Reply to a Ticket for additional details.
4. If some tags are marked on this ticket, jump to the Additional tab, and enter them in a comma-separated format in the Tags field.
5. You can also set up a periodic reminder for this ticket by using the Follow Up tab. Refer to How to Set Reminder for Ticket subsection for more info.
6. Save the ticket.

How to Reply to a Ticket

You can reply to a ticket by either using the Help Desk backend interface or by email, using a special notification which is sent to staff on each customer's reply.

Using Backend Interface.

When you open a particular ticket, you will see that the General tab is divided into two areas - the left-sided panel with To and Ticket Summary section, and the Reply Area, which contains the Public Reply section, which allows you to reply to the ticket.

There are four main options in replying:

• Public Reply - this is a standard reply of a staff member, visible both at the backend and frontend. Its content will be sent to the customer as an email notification.
• Internal Note - private notes will be visible only at the backend by the Help Desk agents. This option is used as an in-company communication.
• Message to Third Party - when this option is selected, an additional field appears - for a third-party email. It is useful in adding other actors such as the customer's developers to the tickets. The invited party will receive an email notification with some message contents. This reply will be visible at the frontend.
• Internal Message to Third Party - when this option is selected, an additional field for email appears, but this time, a reply will only be visible at the backend. This option is used for in-company communication.

If you have Quick Responses, you can use them in the Reply Area, using the Insert Quick Response drop-down menu.

Using Email Notification.

This type of reply is available only when you have configured one or more Email Gateways, and registered them in their Departments as a Sender Email. Then, to each customer (or a third party), a reply is added to the particular ticket; an email notification will come to an agent's mailbox.

Just answer that email, and a reply will come to the Gateway and be properly added to the ticket.

How to Set A Reminder for Ticket

An agent can set an email reminder for him or herself (or other agents) and customers - if a ticket is not answered for a long time, the action will be executed along with the reminder.

To establish such a reminder, pick up a ticket, and proceed to the Follow Up tab. There, you will find the following properties which allow you to set up reminders easily:

• Period - Units of time, in which the reminder period is measured. Can be:
  • In minutes;
  • In hours;
  • In days;
  • In weeks;
  • In months;
  • Custom - these options are not used, but are added for customers who wish to modify this feature.
• Period Value - Quantity of the units of time, defined above.
• Send Reminder - Also sends a reminder email to a specified email. It is useful in enforcing the timetable of the ticket's response.
• Set Status To - Status, which will be assigned to the ticket upon triggering a reminder.
• Set Priority To - Priority, which will be assigned to the ticket upon triggering a reminder.
• Set Owner To - A staff member will be assigned to a ticket upon triggering a reminder.

Three last properties are extremely useful in building an effective policy for managing tickets. For example, using Follow-Up reminders, you can automatically pass long and unfinished tickets on to an expert. The possibility of assigning statuses and priorities allows you to bring the staff's attention to such tickets.

How to Use Additional Info of Ticket

Each ticket also contains useful info that can be used for different kinds of analytics. It is located in the Additional tab, and consists of the following properties:

• Subject - Precise subject of the initial message, that started this ticket (or email, if it was converted from it).
• Store View - Displays the store's view or views where this ticket was created.
• Channel - Assigned automatically during ticket creation. It contains a description of how a ticket has been created. There are four possible ways of creating a ticket:
  • Email - from the message, via Gateways.
  • Feedback Tab - from Contact Tab, displayed at the left or right side of the frontend page, and governed by the Help Desk MX -> Settings -> Feedback Tab section.
  • Contact Form - from our general Contact Us form, which is overridden by our extension, and typically located at http://store.com/contact/.
  • Backend - from Tickets Grid, or additional tab at Order Edit Page.
• External Link - Contains link, which is sent in email notifications, and can be sent to the third parties to access a ticket message thread.
• Tags - Tags of the current ticket. Unlike other properties, they can be set here using a comma-separated format. This feature is extremely useful in ticket reviewing as it controls their workflow.
• Ticket History - Displays log of all changes to the ticket and assignees in charge.

How to Set Satisfaction Survey to the Ticket

Help Desk MX includes a satisfaction survey in the tickets, which is extremely useful in measuring a level of support and staff productivity.

This survey appends a special block containing a simple form that allows customers to rate each staff reply to all email notifications. There are three possible remarks:

• Awesome;
• Just OK;
• Not good

When a customer selects one, he or she is transferred via a corresponding link to the form, where he or she can write detailed feedback.

This feedback can later be seen at Customers > Help Desk MX > Satisfaction Survey Results, with the possibility of per-staff and per-customer filtering.

You can enable this feature at Store > Configuration > Help Desk > Customer Satisfaction Survey, and control the display of its results:

• Include a satisfaction survey in the reply email from staff members - This adds a satisfaction survey to each customer's email notification.
• Show survey results at the backend ticket history - allows agents to see satisfaction rates and replies at the backend Ticket Edit page.
• Send survey results to the ticket owner - triggers a notification email to the ticket's owner when a new satisfaction rate is added.
• Send survey results to emails - triggers additional notifications on adding satisfaction rate. This option is useful in informing the higher-level staff about maintaining statistics.
• Show survey results in the frontend ticket history - in each ticket created by the customer, it shows the satisfaction rating the customer gave for the support replies.

Building Email Notifications Policy

This section describes how Email Notifications are being used and fitted to suit your needs. It consists of the following subsections:

• Help Desk Templates
• Customizing email notifications template
• Adding variables to custom Notification Emails
• Signing messages with a custom signature
• Disabling a Notification Email
• Examples of custom Notification Email

Help Desk Templates

Help Desk MX allows the sending of emails with different types of notifications to the customer and support team. Here is a list of all of our templates, along with its associated actions:

• New Ticket Email for Customer - sent when a ticket is created, with a basic confirmation message.
• New Ticket Email to Staff - sent when a ticket is created, and a summary is made for it.
• Ticket Email, Assigned to Staff - sent whenever a ticket is assigned or re-assigned to a particular agent. It also contains a summary.
• New Message Email for Customer - sent whenever a new message from staff or a third party is added to the ticket.
• New Message Email for Staff - sent whenever a new message from a customer or third-party is added to the ticket
• New Message Email for Third-Party - sent whenever a new message from a customer or staff is added to the ticket to a third-party user (or a customer) who has been added to the conversation.
• Template of Ticket Reminder - sent when a reminder is set for a particular ticket.
• Template of Rule Notification - sent when a Workflow Rule is configured to send notifications. This template acts as a wrapper to a message from the rule.
• Template of Survey Satisfaction Result - sent when the customer has left a response to satisfaction survey.

These templates cover virtually any action which can take place while working with customers.

Customizing email notifications template

All Email Notification Templates from the Help Desk are regular transactional emails - e. g. they can be customized using default Magento 2 means.

To customize the Help Desk MX email template, you need to perform the following, according to the steps enlisted below:

• Go to Marketing > Communications > Email Templates
• Press the button Add New Template
• Pick up a template in the dropdown that you would like to customize. They begin with Helpdesk prefix - Helpdesk - Customer - New Message, for example.
• Press the button Load Template
• Enter the new Template Name (e.g. My Helpdesk - Customer - New Message)
• Change Template Subject and Template Content if necessary
• Press the button Save Template
• Go to Store > Configuration > Help Desk > Email Notification Settings. Select your new template in the dropdown list of necessary notifications. Save the configuration.

In email templates, you can use the following variables:

• {{var customer.name}} - customer name
• {{var customer.email}} - customer email
• {{var ticket.code}} - ticket code
• {{var ticket.name}} - ticket subject
• {{var ticket.department}} - name of ticket department
• {{var ticket.status}} - name of ticket status
• {{var ticket.priority}} - name of ticket priority
• {{var ticket.getCreatedAtFormated($format)}}- date ticket was created
• {{var ticket.getUpdatedAtFormated($format)}}- date ticket was updated
• {{var ticket.getLastMessageHtmlText()}} - current ticket's message (in HTML format)
• {{block class='Mirasvit\\Helpdesk\\Block\\Email\\History' area='frontend' template='Mirasvit_Helpdesk::email/history.phtml' ticket=$ticket}} - block with ticket history
• {{var ticket.getExternalUrl() }} - external ticket's URL
• {{var store.getFrontendName()}} - name of your store
• {{var user.firstname}} - first name of ticket owner
• {{var user.lastname}} - last name of ticket owner
• {{var user.email}} - email of ticket owner
• {{var department.name}} - name of ticket's department

Note $format can only be of one of these types: "none", "full", "long", "medium", "short", "traditional", "gregorian". For more information, please check https://www.php.net/manual/en/class.intldateformatter.php#intl.intldateformatter-constants

Custom fields can also be used as variables through their codes, which are prefixed with "f_" prefix. If you have a custom field with the code "test_field", the proper email variable should be "{{var ticket.f_test_field}}". For custom fields of type "Drop-down list", the variable "{{var ticket.f_test_field_label}}" displays a label for the selected value.

Adding variables to custom Notification Emails

Help Desk notifications also support standard Magento Email Template variables, such as {{var logo_alt}}, and supports function calling, like {{var store.getFrontendName()}}, and adds a set of its own variables.

• {{var customer}} - allows access to customer properties;
• {{var ticket}} - allows access to ticket properties, including custom fields (see below).
• {{var department}} - allows access to department properties.

The most usable properties are:

• {{var customer.getName()}} - Name of current customer

• {{var customer.getEmail()}} - Email of current customer

• {{var department.getName()}} - Name of department to which current ticket was assigned

• {{var department.getSenderEmail()}} - Sender email, used as the field From in notificators

• {{var ticket.getCode()}} - Code of current ticket, e. g. YVB-459-53185.
• {{var ticket.getName()}} - Subject of current ticket.
• {{var ticket.getCustomerEmail()}} - Email of current customer.
• {{var ticket.getCustomerName()}} - Full name of current customer.
• {{var ticket.getLastReplyName()}} - Full name of customer or staff member who last replied to the current ticket.
• {{var ticket.getFrontendLastReplyName()}} - Name of the author to the last reply as it is displayed at the frontend (depending from option Store > Configuration > Help Desk -> General Settings -> Sign staff replies)
• {{var ticket.getChannel()}} - Name of the channel that created the ticket - e.g. 'email', 'backend' or 'feedback_tab'.
• {{var ticket.getExternalUrl()}} - Frontend URL of current ticket.
• {{var ticket.getBackendUrl()}} - Backend URL of current ticket. The variable works correctly if the "Stores > Configuration > ADVANCED > Admin > Security > Add Secret Key to URLs" option is disabled.
• {{var ticket.getLastMessagePlainText()}} - Contents of last message posted.
• {{var ticket.getUserName()}} - Full name of current ticket owner.
• {{var ticket.getOrder()}} - Returns Order object to which current ticket was binded. It provides access to all order's properties (see example below, note that these properties can be used within {{depend}} tag).

{{depend ticket.getOrder()}}
    {{var ticket.getOrder().getIncrementId()}}
{{/depend}}

Also, if there is a custom field, it can be used as an email variable. Each custom field has a code. Assume that we have created a field with the custom_reason code. Then the corresponding email variable is:

• {{var ticket.getCustomReason()}} - Email of the current customer.

Signing messages with a custom signature

Our extension allows agents to have their signatures automatically added at the end of each response to the ticket. To add a signature, perform the following steps:

• Go to System -> All Users grid, and pick up a record for a particular agent.
• In the Help Desk additional tab, enter the signature to the field Signature for Emails (you can use HTML code, if need be).
• Save user record to apply the signature.

From that moment, each notification sent by that agent will be signed with the entered text.

Disabling a Notification Email

To disable a Notification Email, you need to go to the Store > Configuration > Help Desk > Email Notification Settings. In the dropdown list of notifications, select the option Disable these emails. Then save the configuration to apply changes.

Examples of custom Notification Email

All custom Notification Emails in Help Desk are created using Workflow Rules.

To add a separate notification to the email flow, you need to set the conditions that should trigger emails to customers' properly, and add a message to the Email Subject and Email Body in Notifications tab. Here are a few real-life examples, which will help you create your custom notifications.

Working Hours

This feature allows you to set a timetable for your store. It is displayed on the Contact Us page in the form of a working hours table.

The Contact Us popup will display only the current status message (open/closed - as defined in particular Schedule).

How to Create Schedule for Working Hours

To create a new schedule, go to the Customers > Help Desk MX > Working Hours backend page. Press the button Add New Schedule. You will see the following settings:

• Title - the name on the schedule.
• Working Hours - days of the week and hours for the shedule to be applied.
• Is Active - whether it is active and should be shown as active.
• Active From - the date when the schedule will be active.
• Active To - the date when the schedule stops being active.
• Stores - sets store view or views where this schedule will apply
• Sort Order - sorting order for a grid display.
• Is Holiday - whether it is a timetable for holidays
• Timezone - in which time zone the scheduled time should be displayed (makes hours adjust respectively to the time zone).
• Open message - message to be displayed when the store is open.
• Closed message - message to be displayed when the store is closed.

Reports

Reports are used in monitoring the statistics of tickets' flow and support quality.

They are divided into two separate menu actions:

• Refresh Statistics which is used to keep statistics up-to-date, and concentrate data for display.
• Reports which is used in visualizing data.

These actions can be selected from the menu drop-down in the Customers -> Help Desk MX section.

Reports contain the following metrics:

• New tickets
• Changed tickets
• Solved tickets
• 1st Reply Time (in hours)
• Total Responses

The statistics of tickets' flow and support quality

• If you have not gathered statistics recently, go to Customers -> Help Desk MX and select Refresh Statistics. It will force data gathering, after which you will be redirected to the Reports page that has been updated with current data;
• Press the button on the top bar to show a chart concerning the following parameters:
  • Hour of Day - shows a current day statistics;
  • Day - shows daily statistics;
  • Week - shows weekly statistics;
  • Month - shows monthly statistics.
  • Year - shows yearly statistics.
  • User Name - shows statistics per staff member.
• Reports will be automatically refreshed

Workflow Rules Examples

Known Issues

This section describes the most common problems that customers report and how they can be resolved:

• Can not submit ticket. Error with Pelago\Emogrifier->addStyleElementToDocument
• Help Desk suddenly stopped fetching emails
• When I save a gateway, I see the error message 'Authentication failed for user..'
• IMAP has limited support or is completely disabled at the shell level
• Quick Responses contain weird javascript code
• Email replies do not bind to their tickets and are fetched as new tickets.
• Our staff replies, sent via email, do not appear in tickets.
• I have upgraded my extension, and have received a Fatal Error in one of the Mirasvit_Ddeboer_Imap classes

Can not submit ticket. Error with Pelago\Emogrifier->addStyleElementToDocument

If you see an error message like "Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call on a member function appendChild() on null in ../emogrifier/src/Emogrifier.php:1419", please run the following command composer require pelago/emogrifier:2.0.0.

Help Desk has suddenly stopped fetching emails

There are several possible reasons why the fetch stopped:

When I save a gateway, I see the error message 'Authentication failed for user..'

This error indicates that the extension could not connect to the mailbox. Possible causes are:

1. You use two-factor authentication in your mailbox

   In this case, you need to create a separate password for the helpdesk and use it when you configure the gateway.

2. IMAP is disabled for your mailbox

   Please, contact your mailbox provider and ask them to email IMAP.

IMAP has limited support or is completely disabled at the shell level

This issue is reported by our Email Fetching module and can be seen at Customers > Help Desk MX > Gateways, where the error "Can't fetch" appears. You can also run the following test: Open your shell console and run the following command: php -m | grep imap. If you see an empty result, then IMAP is not enabled, and you need to enable it.

The cause of this issue is that PHP has two configurations. One for Apache (or other servers), the other for shell where the php-imap extension should work. Our extension fetches emails at shell level (via cron tasks) to use only php shell.

Solution:

Contact your hosting provider and ask to enable php-imap for PHP at the shell level.

Quick Responses contain weird javascript code

Example:

/* <![CDATA[ */!function(){try{var t="currentScript"in document?document.currentScript:function(){for(var t=document.getElementsByTagName("script"),e=t.length;e--;)if(t[e].getAttribute("cf-hash"))return t[e]}();if(t&&t.previousSibling){var e,r,n,i,c=t.previousSibling,a=c.getAttribute("data-cfemail");if(a){for(e="",r=parseInt(a.substr(0,2),16),n=2;a.length-n;n+=2)i=parseInt(a.substr(n,2),16)^r,e+=String.fromCharCode(i);e=document.createTextNode(e),c.parentNode.replaceChild(e,c)}}}catch(u){}}();/* ]]> */, OKD-384-58649, AntioxiBoost, AntioxiBoost, Administrator, [email protected]
/* <![CDATA[ */!function(){try{var t="currentScript"in document?document.currentScript:function(){for(var t=document.getElementsByTagName("script"),e=t.length;e--;)if(t[e].getAttribute("cf-hash"))return t[e]}();if(t&&t.previousSibling){var e,r,n,i,c=t.previousSibling,a=c.getAttribute("data-cfemail");if(a){for(e="",r=parseInt(a.substr(0,2),16),n=2;a.length-n;n+=2)i=parseInt(a.substr(n,2),16)^r,e+=String.fromCharCode(i);e=document.createTextNode(e),c.parentNode.replaceChild(e,c)}}}catch(u){}}();/* ]]> */

This script is used by the CloudFlare Email Protection cloud service, which masks 'on-the-fly' email addresses by placing a special script after them.

Solution:

• Turn off the CloudFlare Email Protection service, or
• Go to Customers > Help Desk MX > Quick Responses and adjust the Quick Response content so that it does not contain free email addresses or variables translated to them.

Email replies do not bind to their tickets and are fetched as new tickets.

Possible causes:

1. Variable {{var ticket.getHiddenCodeHtml()}} is missing on the email template

   This issue can appear when a special variable {{var ticket.getHiddenCodeHtml()}} is missing in the email template. Also, it can be caused by some filter or spam protection means of your email provider.

   Solution 1

   • Go to Store > Configuration > Help Desk MX -> Email Notification Settings and check the name of the particular template
   • If a custom template is selected, go to System -> Transaction Emails and edit that template. Put the variable {{var ticket.getHiddenCodeHtml()}} in the appropriate place and save.
   • If the standard template is selected, check templates at the app/locale/[YOUR_LOCALE]/template/email/mst_helpdesk/ directory. Put it back {{var ticket.getHiddenCodeHtml()}} to the appropriate template and save it.
   • Purge ALL your cache.

   Solution 2

   • Go to Store > Configuration > Help Desk MX -> Email Notification Settings and set the Show Ticket ID in the email title option to Yes

2. Email service removes hidden ticket code

   This issue can appear when the email service (Office360, for example), which cleans all additional email attributes, is used as either a sender or a gateway. This means that the ticket code is stripped from the email, and the customer's answer cannot be bound to the proper ticket.

   Solution:

   • Go to Store > Configuration > Help Desk MX -> Email Notification Settings and set the option Show Ticket ID in the email title to "Yes".

Our staff replies, sent via email, do not appear in tickets.

Please, check your sender emails: if they are also registered as Gateways, these replies are skipped because our extension treats them as auto-notifications.

Moreover, all emails that originate from Gateway mailboxes will be skipped to avoid an infinite cycle due to "conversations" between Gateways.

Solution:

Remove all mailboxes that are used as sender emails from Gateways or provide your staff with separate mailboxes.

I have upgraded my extension and have received a Fatal Error in one of the Mirasvit_Ddeboer_Imap classes

Please, check the full error message. It should look like one of these examples (or similar):

    PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method Mirasvit_Ddeboer_Imap_Message::getErrors() in /.../app/code/local/Mirasvit/Helpdesk/Helper/Fetch.php on line 299

    Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'Mirasvit_Ddeboer_Imap_Server' not found in /.../app/code/Mirasvit/Helpdesk/Helper/Fetch.php:83

Causes: during upgrade or installation, not all of the required files of our extension were copied.

Solutions:

• If you're using M2.1 and have installed our extension manually, make sure that the folder lib/Mirasvit from the installation package was correctly installed to lib/internal subdirectory into your Magento store root.
• If you're using M2.2, then perform the update via composer - it should restore all dependencies.

How-To

This section describes the most frequently asked tasks with a detailed description, on how to do it:

• Adding Help Desk Widget to Custom Forms
• Disabling staff switching on staff response to the ticket
• Disabling staff switching on staff response to the ticket

Adding Help Desk Widget to Custom Forms

You can insert the help desk contact form to the CMS page as a Magento widget.

To do this, please take the following steps:

1. Open the CMS page at the backend.
2. In the WYSIWYG editor, click on the Insert Widget icon.
3. Select Help Desk Contact Form from the dropdown list.
4. Press the Insert widget button.

Disabling staff switching on staff response to the ticket

It is our extension's default behavior, so we do not recommend changing it unless you need it to be changed.

If you have decided to go through with changing, nevertheless, do the following steps:

• Open the module /vendor/mirasvit/module-helpdesk/src/Helpdesk/Model/Ticket.php and find the function addMessage.
• Comment on all the expressions of $this->setUserId($user->getId()); type.
• Clean the Magento cache and regenerate a static content to enable changes to apply.

Help Desk integration with chat

The module works with the different chats that send offline messages. You only need to send the offline messages to the email that is configured as a Gateway

How to customize the email template

To change the email template of the Helpdesk, you need to do the following steps:

• Go to the Marketing > Email Templates.
• Press the button Add New Template.
• In the dropdown list, select the template that you would like to customize. The current extension templates are placed at the Mirasvit_Helpdesk header.
• Press the button Load Template.
• Enter the new Template Name (e.g. Email notification for Customer).
• Change Template Subject and Template Content as you need, and save the template.
• Go to the Sales > Helpdesk > Settings > Email Notification Settings. Select your new template in the dropdown list of necessary notifications. Save configuration.

Migration from Magento 1 to Magento 2

Below are examples of scripts that can be used in transferring data from Mirasvit Help Desk MX for Magento 1 to Mirasvit Help Desk MX for Magento 2. To use these scripts, you need the help of a PHP developer. The scripts may contain bugs which may not transfer all necessary data. Therefore, you may need to change them to meet your needs. Migration service is not a part of our support service, so if you need our team's help, you will need to buy a migration service.

Click on the names of scripts below to download:

• mirasvit_helpdesk_m1_export.php - script for exporting Help Desk data to XML file.
• mirasvit_helpdesk_m2_import.php - script for importing Help Desk data from XML file.
• freshdesk_migration.php - script for importing Freshdesk json data.

How to perform Migration

Follow these steps to correctly perform the migration:

1. Run a standard Magento 2 migration, and make sure that your customers and their orders were transferred from your M1 store to M2;
2. Ensure that Help Desk MX for Magento 2 is installed on your M2 store.
3. Place mirasvit_helpdesk_m1_export.php at the root of your M1 store, and run it either:
   • From your browser by opening URL http://store_m1.com/mirasvit_helpdesk_m1_export.php, or
   • From the SSH/Console: navigate to your store's root and run the command php -f mirasvit_helpdesk_m1_export.php
4. If the script returns successfully, the file helpdesk_export.xml will be created at the store's root with all your data. Transfer it to the root of your M2 store;
5. Place mirasvit_helpdesk_m2_import.php at the root of your M2 store, and run it either:
   • From browser by opening URL http://store_m1.com/mirasvit_helpdesk_m2_import.php, or
   • From SSH/Console: navigate to your store's root and run the command php -f mirasvit_helpdesk_m2_import.php
6. Check the migrated data.
7. When the migration is completed, remove both migration scripts.

Migration from Freshdesk to Mirasvit Helpdesk Magento 2

1. Place the import tickets.json file to the root folder of your store.
2. Read comments at the beginning of the script and do the required changes for your store.
3. Place mirasvit_helpdesk_m2_import.php to the root of your M2 store, and run it either:
   • From browser by opening URL http://store_m1.com/freshdesk_migration.php, or
   • From SSH/Console: navigate to your store's root and run the command php -f freshdesk_migration.php
4. Check the migrated data.
5. When the migration is completed, remove both migration scripts.

Troubleshooting

In some cases, imported scripts can crash at the stage of a timeout or memory overloading errors (due to a large quantity of data). In this case, all you have to do is restart the import script by reloading the browser page. It will skip the previously uploaded data and proceed to the last unprocessed record.

How to upgrade the extension

To upgrade the extension, follow the next steps:

1. Back up your store's database and web directory.
2. Log in to your server's SSH console and navigate to the root directory of the Magento 2 store.

3. Run the command composer require mirasvit/module-helpdesk:* --update-with-dependencies to update the current extension with all dependencies.
