Microsoft 365 Help Desk

Provide efficient support and resolution with a full-featured help desk integrated with Microsoft 365.

Email to Ticket

Microsoft 365 email ticketing system

Email alone lacks features to optimally manage and track support requests. A help desk for MS 365 provides a suite of features to efficiently resolve email tickets and automate support processes. Fully integrate your support inbox(es) to create tickets from email. 

Create tickets from MS 365

Directly connect your Microsoft 365 support inbox to the OneDesk ticketing system. Integration is a simple on-click process using OAuth. Customers send their requests to your email address. Then, tickets are automatically created in the OneDesk ticketing system. Track, manage, and resolve all tickets in OneDesk.

Respond from your Microsoft 365 address

Your whole team can respond to customer tickets from OneDesk. Emails are sent to your customers’ inbox via your own MS 365 support account (SMTP).  Using an integrated Microsoft 365 help desk gives customers clarity and trust when interacting with your team.

Manage multiple support inboxes

Have multiple departments or support inboxes? OneDesk allows you to integrate multiple MS 365 accounts. You can set different rules based on each email account. For instance, create different ticket types depending on the inbox. Or, triage tickets to the right department based on the email’s origin.
