What it's for
Put an end to requests that live only in one person's inbox. What comes in through here becomes a request with a number, queue, owner and deadline — and starts to exist for the SLA and for reporting.

Rules

The same message never opens two requests
Each e-mail is individually identified and checked before anything is created. This holds even if the reading runs twice, if the system restarts midway, or if someone clicks "Collect now" repeatedly.
Gmail and Microsoft 365 require an app password
The account password doesn't work for reading the inbox with these providers: you need to generate a specific app password, which you can later revoke without changing the main password. It's stored encrypted and never shown back to you.
An out-of-office auto-reply would turn into a request — and it doesn't
Automatic messages (out-of-office, no-reply, robot notifications) are discarded before becoming a request, and are logged as ignored with the reason. Without this, every client's vacation notice would open a ticket that no one would ever close.

Frequently asked questions

What if the message can't become a request?
It stays on the "Received e-mails" screen marked with the reason, so you can link it to an existing request or open a new one with one click. No message is discarded silently.
