Step-by-Step Tutorial & Best Practices
There are three important things to recall when sending Contact Us form submissions to Gladly:
Submissions should be sent as an email to your support email address configured in Gladly (e.g. support@mycompany.com).
Your Contact US form should collect the submitter's email address and validate it is correctly formatted (most Contact Us form providers, like FormStack, do this automatically).
The submission email's Reply-To header should be set to the Customer's email address provided in step #2. This is very important to prevent emails from appearing on a single Conversation Timeline. This also allows Agents to respond directly to the Customer (most Contact Us form providers, like FormStack, can be configured to do this automatically without any code).
