This help file will show you how you can easily start automating PrestaShop feedback requests in your eDesk account.
Before you start
- eDesk Feedback is available as an Add-On. To find more information, click here.
- You’ll need an Admin login to eDesk. If you don’t have an Admin login, you can request one from an Admin user within your business.
- You'll need a PrestaShop account. To find out more about this, click here.
01 How does it work?
The PrestaShop Feedback integration allows you to set up eDesk to automatically request reviews on PrestaShop when a customer purchases from your business. All you need to do is set up rules that determine when and under what circumstances the feedback request is sent, and you'll write the feedback message that will be sent to your customer. Then eDesk does the rest. Easy!When your customers respond to the feedback request and write a review, the review is left on your PrestaShop webstore.
02 How do I connect eDesk with PrestaShop?
Connecting PrestaShop to your eDesk account is a straightforward process. Simply follow the instructions below:- Click the Feedback button in the main menu.

Pro Tip: If you have already set up a Webservice key for eDesk in PrestaShop, you can find it in Advanced Parameters → Webservice within your PrestaShop account. Copy it so that you can paste it into the eDesk form in the next step.
Once you have completed these steps in PrestaShop, return to the eDesk tab and click Next. - Now you need to enter details to connect your PrestaShop store.
Step 1: Enter the URL for your PrestaShop webstore.

Click Next. 
- Next, enter the support email address that you use for PrestaShop. Click Next.
- Now you will set up your email forwarding, which will allow eDesk to share emails with PrestaShop.
You can choose Standard Email Forwarding (where you set up your email account to forward emails to eDesk) OR IMAP Server Connection (where you instruct eDesk to get the emails from your IMAP server). Most businesses select Standard Email Forwarding as it's easy to set up!
Select Standard Email Forwarding or IMAP Server Connection, and follow the instructions on screen.
- And that's all you need to do! You'll get a confirmation message if the connection is successful. Well done!
