If several agents happen to keep such a large ticket open unnecessarily, +it can harm performance for everyone working on the helpdesk. + +It is always good practice to close ticket tabs when not actively working on a specific ticket. + +If coordinating all agents to close their unused tickets in the side panel does not help with the slowness, +please contact us. + + +### Google mail not working, Oauth token expired +#### Instructions + +First, someone with admin permissions in your Google organisation needs to navigate to https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials +and either refresh the existing token or create another set of Google Oauth 2.0 credentials. + +To reconnect your Google email: + +Remember that it is very important to not log in to the helpdesk with your personal admin/agent Google account as it will result in connecting your personal email with the helpdesk. + +1. Close all 'incognito' windows of your browser and open a new one. +2. Open your helpdesk login page and log into it by pressing the 'Log in with Google' button. +3. For login use the same Google email account that the customers will be using to communicate with the helpdesk. +4. Please move the emails that you don't want to import into the helpdesk manually from the Inbox folder into another folder in your helpdesk Gmail account. + +This will ensure that no automatic replies will be sent to your customers for existing tickets, as importing any email triggers an auto-reply to its customer. +You can also turn off auto-replies while you reconnect for your peace of mind. + +5. Go to: Settings -> Channels -> Google and press the 'Reauthenticate' button.This will prompt you to reauthenticate into Google. Make sure the account you are connecting matches the helpdesk email rather than any personal email. +6. Once authenticated, in the settings screen that comes up - set 'keep messages on server' to 'yes', unless you want the messages to be deleted from the mail provider once imported, and to exist only in Link. + + +### Emails arrive in my Inbox but they don’t create tickets + +Zammad is checking only New emails in the INBOX folder. Make sure you are not using any filters or rules that move mail to other folders in the email client. +We recommend you do not access the mailbox outside of the Link connection, unless absolutely necessary or for debugging purposes. \ No newline at end of file
