Customer ticket access

Let customers sign in to your Help Center by email to view and manage their own tickets and messages.

Customer ticket access

Let customers sign in to your Help Center by email to view and manage their own tickets and messages.

Give customers a private place to view and manage their support conversations. When Customer ticket access is enabled, customers can sign in to your Help Center with a one-time code sent to their email address.

Each customer can only access tickets linked to their signed-in email address. They cannot see another customer's tickets.
