Outgoing and Incoming emails let you configure your survey and case management email addresses.
You can use Outgoing Emails to set up custom emails to manage emails to be sent from your account. It enables you to set up your own email with a custom domain or an SMTP server for email.
Incoming Emails enable you to forward all your recipient replies on Support emails to a forwarding email ID. This will help your users to get an instant solution to all their Support queries or complaints.
Let’s see how it works.
1. On your Survey dashboard, click on Settings at the top Menu bar.
2. Navigate to Email under Email Settings, where you can configure your email address for surveys and tickets.
3. Any emails going out from your account will be sent from the outgoing email address. You can also use your own email via SurveySparrow or SMTP server to choose an email address of your own.
Once you set up the email, ensure that you choose the “Make default” option for the email.
Configuring emails for Case management (Ticketing solution)
Similar to surveys, you can set the email to be used for case management. You can configure the from address and the reply-to address. It can be an email with a custom domain or configure an SMTP server.

Outgoing emails

Incoming emails
Configuring incoming emails enable you to set the “Reply-to” address of emails sent for case management. In this way, you can streamline the replies you receive from your customer or team member and manage the ticketing thread. Let’s see how to configure it.
