A Support email address is the main point of contact for any customer purchasing from you. 

Connecting your Support Email will allow all your emails to flow into eDesk.

All messages will continue to be delivered to your Support mailbox and it will also update when you send messages from eDesk.

Before you start

 
  • 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 Support Email Address.
