To **turn incoming emails into tickets**, you route a dedicated address into a process. Each email arriving there creates a card in the first phase, with a status, an owner, and a place in the queue.

## Why a shared inbox is not a support system

A mailbox has no concept of ownership or state, which is exactly what support work depends on.

- Requests answered twice, or not at all
- No way to know which emails are still open
- Nobody accountable for a specific request
- No response-time data to report on

## What changes when an email becomes a card

| Aspect        | Shared inbox           | Ticket pipeline                             |
| ------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| **State**     | Read or unread         | A defined phase in the process              |
| **Ownership** | Whoever opens it first | An assigned responsible person              |
| **Timing**    | Not measured           | SLA tracked per stage                       |
| **Reporting** | None                   | Volume, resolution, and response indicators |

## How to configure it in Jestor

1. Set up the native email integration in **Jestor** with a dedicated address.
2. Link it to the ticket process so arriving emails create cards in the first phase.
3. Define the phases the ticket moves through, with an owner at each.
4. Add an **AI** agent to answer, classify, and close routine tickets.
5. Build indicators on volume, resolution, and **SLA** across the pipeline.

## Why choose Jestor for ticket intake?

**Jestor** handles email natively, so the address feeding the pipeline is part of the platform rather than a forwarding rule maintained elsewhere.

The same process can also receive **WhatsApp** conversations as cards, which means requests arriving through different channels land in one queue with one set of reporting.
