Ticketing channels in Customer Service Suite help you handle customer requests from different sources in one place, keeping things organized and easy to manage. Here's a list of the different ticketing channels you can use to manage support in Customer Service Suite:
Email Ticketing
With Customer Service Suite, you can effortlessly manage support through email. Here’s how it works:
Default Support Email: Say your company name is Acme. When you sign up, Freshdesk gives you a default support email like support@acme.freshdesk.com. Any email sent to this address automatically becomes a support ticket.
Add More Emails: You can add other emails in Customer Service Suite, like billing@acme.com or bugs@acme.com. This helps different teams (groups) or departments manage support separately.
Easy Replies: When you reply to a ticket, the response will come from the email address where the ticket was received. For example, if the ticket came to billing@acme.com, the reply will also come from billing@acme.com.
Seamless Customer Experience: The end customer doesn't realize your company uses Freshdesk. All communications come directly from your company’s email addresses, ensuring a smooth and professional support experience.

Portals
The portal is where your customers can do a lot to help themselves and get the support they need. Here’s what they can do:
User Registration: Customers can create and manage their accounts, giving them personalized access to support resources and their service history.
Comprehensive Self-Help: They can explore a vast Knowledge Base to find solutions independently, reducing the need for direct support.
Community Interaction: Customers can join Forums to ask questions, share their experiences, and help each other, creating a supportive community.
Submit Tickets: Customers can submit support tickets directly through the portal, providing detailed information about their issues.
Customization: You can customize your portal with your logo, favicon, and brand colors for a seamless and recognizable customer experience.
You can also create multiple portals to manage different products or tailor the experience for client segments, such as clients with different languages or VIP clients.
