In order to set up Email Piping, you must add a new business inbox as an Email-Based Channel. You can set multiple business inboxes in Fluent Support.
- First, navigate to the Business Settings and click the button – Add New Business Inbox on the top-right. A modal will pop up where you have to enter a name for your Inbox, the Email address from which you want to send emails, and select the option – Email Based (MailBox).
- After creating a Business Inbox, click on the green View Settings button within the Business account and head over to the Email Piping settings.
- Check the option to agree to the terms and conditions of the Fluent Support email parsing and then click the button – Get Piping Email Details.
- A mailbox email will be issued from Fluent Support that you have to use to set up auto-forwarding of your emails from other email addresses.
- The Next step is to set an Email forward or redirect from your Email provider or Host. Depending on the Email provider that you are using, you can set up a forwarder as per the instructions.
Please note that after you have set the Email forwarding, a verification email will be sent, which will actually create a new support Ticket. So check recent tickets to get the verification code for your email forwarding settings.
We have listed a few examples below –
