Open the notification settings

Turn notifications on or off

In the notifications screen, turn each notification on or off.

Example: email the customer when a ticket is created

If you turn on the email to the customer when a ticket is created, the customer gets an email however the ticket was created. For example, when you create it in Desk, or when the customer emails your support mailbox.

If you leave it off, the customer isn't told that a ticket was created.
