Forwarding customer support emails

Forwarding customer support emails

Last update: Monday, Mar 31, 2025

Xeno creates a public email address for you when you sign-up. This public email address will end in @mail.xeno.app. Xeno does this for 2 reasons:

  • So you can forward the inquiries from your customer support email address to this Xeno public email address.

  • So that the messages received in your chatbox, while in delayed mode, are also forwarded to your Xeno public email address.

This is what happens when your emails are forwarded to your Xeno public email address:

  • If the contact is unknown (a new contact, for example), a new conversation will be created in Xeno.

  • If the contact emailing has already had a previous conversation with your team in Xeno, that conversation will be reopened.
