Providing exceptional customer support requires more than simply responding to tickets. As businesses grow, support teams need complete customer context, consistent workflows, and efficient processes to resolve issues quickly.
Switching between email inboxes, manually configuring ticket automations, and sending outdated notification emails can slow response times and create an inconsistent customer experience.
Salesmate's August 2026 product updates make customer support smarter with enhanced ticket visibility, centralized automation, and modern notification templates.
Alongside these enhancements, improvements to Global Search make navigating Salesmate even faster with a keyboard-first experience that helps users find records in seconds.
Here's a closer look at each update and the value it brings to your support workflows.
Everything new in Salesmate ticketing
Customer support teams need more than a shared inbox to deliver exceptional service.
a. Ticket channels for smarter email routing
As businesses grow, managing support requests across multiple brands, regions, departments, or product lines becomes more complex.
Different support email addresses often require separate ticket pipelines, team assignments, and reply identities.
Previously, Salesmate relied on global ticket email settings, making it difficult to manage multiple email-based workflows without manual routing or additional automation.
Salesmate now introduces Ticket Channels, dedicated email entry points for different support workflows.
Once configured, each channel automatically routes incoming emails to the right ticket pipeline and stage, assigns them to the appropriate users or teams, applies default ticket values, and uses the correct brand or regional email address for replies.
Example
A company supports customers through two websites: one for French customers (support.brand.fr) and another for its global audience (support.brand.com).
Previously, emails from both websites were routed into the same support inbox, requiring support managers to manually identify and route tickets to the correct pipeline.
All replies also came from a single support email address.
With Ticket Channels, the company creates a dedicated channel for each website. Emails are automatically routed to the appropriate ticket pipeline, and replies are sent using the corresponding regional support email address.
This eliminates manual ticket sorting, keeps regional support workflows organized, and ensures customers receive responses from the correct support identity.
What's new
- Create dedicated Ticket Channels for different brands, regions, departments, or support workflows.
- Automatically route incoming emails to the appropriate ticket pipeline and stage.
- Assign tickets to the right users or teams and apply default ticket information.
- Reply using the correct brand or regional email identity.
Key benefits
- Eliminate manual ticket routing and reassignment.
- Organize support workflows across multiple brands, regions, and departments.
- Deliver consistent customer communications using the appropriate email identity.
- Scale email-based support operations with greater efficiency.
b. View source email from ticket timeline
When a ticket is created from an inbound email, support agents often need to reference the original message to verify customer details, review recipients, or understand how the conversation began.
Previously, they had to leave the ticket and search their connected email account to access that information.
Salesmate now lets you view the original inbound email directly from the ticket timeline.
Open the complete source email, including From, To, CC, Date, Subject, and the original email body with its formatting, without leaving the ticket.
This keeps the entire conversation in one place, making it easier to investigate issues and resolve tickets faster.
What's new
- View the original inbound email directly from the ticket timeline.
- Access complete email details, including From, To, CC, Date, Subject, and the original email body.
- Review the email exactly as it was received, preserving its original formatting.
- Access the source email without leaving the ticket view or switching to your connected email account.
Key benefits
- Investigate support issues with the complete customer conversation at your fingertips.
- Verify recipients, message content, and email formatting without searching external inboxes.
- Reduce context switching by keeping the original email within the ticket timeline.
- Resolve tickets faster with immediate access to the communication that created the ticket.
c. Ticket pipeline automations
As support operations grow, managing ticket workflows across multiple pipelines can become increasingly complex.
Previously, administrators had to switch between pipeline settings and the Smart Flows module to configure automations, making setup and ongoing management more time-consuming.
Salesmate now brings pipeline-specific automations into a single, centralized workspace.
Configure default ticket notifications, manage stage-based automations, and create new workflows directly from your ticket pipeline settings, without leaving the pipeline configuration screen.
This gives administrators greater visibility and control while simplifying how support workflows are managed.
What's new
- Configure automations for each ticket pipeline from a centralized location.
- Enable or disable default ticket creation and ticket closure email notifications on a per-pipeline basis.
- Create custom stage-based automations directly from the pipeline settings with a shortcut to Smart Flows.
- View and manage pipeline-specific automations without navigating between multiple modules.
Key benefits
- Reduce configuration effort by managing ticketing automations in one place.
- Customize customer notifications for each pipeline instead of relying on global settings.
- Build and manage stage-based workflows more efficiently with direct access to Smart Flows.
- Gain better visibility into the automations associated with every ticket pipeline.
d. New templates of ticket notification
Salesmate now introduces redesigned ticket notification templates with a refreshed, modern look for new accounts.
These updated templates improve the overall appearance of ticket-related emails, helping businesses deliver cleaner and more professional customer communications.
New accounts created from this release will automatically receive the updated notification templates.
Existing customers who want to switch to the new design can request an upgrade through Salesmate support.
What's new
- Introduced redesigned ticket notification templates with a modern layout.
- New accounts automatically receive the updated templates.
- Existing customers can request the new templates through support chat or email.
- Improved the overall look and presentation of ticket notification emails.
Key benefits
