Option to set the Email Templates (multi division/company/branding) on based of the incoming email servers/addresses or automation rules
It would be great feature to have the option to set
the Email Templates (multi division/company/branding) on based of the incoming email
servers/addresses or automation rules.
For an example if company has separate division handling the customers with helpdesk
application. Division for the B2B customers, division for the B2C customers,
division for the accounting related issues, division for R&D related issues
etc. … etc. … all the different divisions could have need for different Email
Templates.
For an example division for the B2B customers, division for the B2C customers
and division for R&D related issues could have need for very different "Ticket
confirmation" email template and also need to differentiate the other email
templates on based of the division.
Or for an example if the helpdesk application is used to provide helpdesk
support to different brands and/or companies then it would be very useful to
have the option to set different email templates on based of the brands/companies
the helpdesk support is provided to.
For an example support for company/brand 1, support for company/brand 2,
support for company/brand 3, support for company/brand 4. It would be great
feature to have the option to set the "Ticket confirmation" and also
other email templates on based of the company/brand that the support is provided
to.
This could be implemented in different ways.
By the option to set the Email Templates usage on based of the Administration »
Email settings » Email Servers used for the incoming emails/tickets.
By the option to set the Email Templates usage on based of the address the
email was sent to by the ticket submitter (email To field).
Perhaps even through the Automation rules.
For an example:
If the ticket is submitted via email account1/via email address1 use the Email
Templates set 1 (by set I mean set of Email Templates: "New ticket"
email template, "Ticket-updated" email template, "Ticket
closed" email template, "Ticket confirmation" email template, "Welcome
to Helpdesk" email template) if the ticket is submitted via email account2/via
email address2 use the Email Templates set 2, etc. … etc. …
The later handing of the tickets kind of supports the multi division or multi
company/brand option via the Use a different "from" address for
email-notifications in this category. It would be great and useful if the Email
Templates would also support the multi division or multi company/brand option.

To extend on Andreas' suggestion:
I'd suggest that this can and should be done as an optional override in the SECTION/CATEGORY settings. In fact, I'd like to see ALL the settings in the "notifications" and "Templates" sections of the ADMIN>EMAIL controls to be implemented as SECTION-level settings--i.e. Every section could have it's own email handling rules--one section could enable welcome emails or confirmations, while email that comes to another section could disable these features.
This is important in a diverse support situation, as different groups have widely varying needs.

Yes, that's what I was about to write. We do have it in our backlog as "PER-CATEGORY email templates".

It would be extremely useful to have all the existing Email Templates: "New ticket" email template, "Ticket-updated" email template, "Ticket closed" email template, "Ticket confirmation" email template, "Welcome to Helpdesk" email template under the "PER-CATEGORY email templates".

Yes, we're actively working on this.

The PER-CATEGORY email templates feature is implemented (thank You very much for the added feature) but at this moment the implemented feature allows to set different PER-CATEGORY email templates. But does not allow to set different Email notifications options PER-CATEGORY (switch Email notifications on/off PER-CATEGORY).
For an example it is not possible to set Send ticket confirmation notification to one CATEGORY and set another CATEGORY without Sending ticket confirmation notification.

I have posted new idea to the Ideas forum:

For an example it is not possible to set Send ticket confirmation notification to one CATEGORY and set another CATEGORY without Sending ticket confirmation notification.
