Configure Mailgun Inbound Emails

Use Mailgun to route and receive emails in your help desk instance.

See an overview of how inbound emails works and the supported email service providers here.

This is how the Mailgun Inbound integration works:

1. Your customer sends a message to [email protected]
2. Your email client forwards the incoming email from [email protected] to [email protected] (your Full Help's mailbox internal address).
3. Mailgun Routes catches the incoming email and makes a POST Request to http://www.yourhelpdeskdomain.com/api/v1/mg/receive
4. Your help desk instance handles the Mailgun Post Request and routes the incoming message to the appropriate conversation, on the appropriate mailbox.

1. On your Mailgun account, go to Domains, then click on Add New Domain.
2. On Domain Name, enter the domain you want to use on your help desk, then click on Add Domain.
