Can we download and install QTX on our own equipment?

Can we use this as an email connector?

We have an On-Premises ConnectWise PSA instance which is not accessible from the Internet.  Can we still use QuickTix?

You will need to configure your firewall to allow connections from 72.52.250.79.

Why not just forward to your email connector?

Forwarding an email into your email connector will create a ticket with you as the ticket contact, not the actual customer.

This requires a human to update the ticket to the proper company & contact on the ticket.  This should always be completed prior to any time entries.

This is why QuickTix was invented.  Device independent, from anywhere – anytime.

Will QuickTix work with Auto Task or Kaseya BMS?

Currently, QuickTix only works with ConnectWise PSA.

Future enhancements may include Datto Autotask and Kaseya BMS.  If interested, submit a Feature Request.

I received an NDR that says, “Original sender could not be found.”

When QuickTix is unable to find an original sender, you will receive this NDR.  The most common causes for this error are as follows:

  1. An email address for the original sender is not included in the forwarded message.
  2. An email was sent directly to QuickTix, instead of being a forwarded email.

I receive an NDR that says, “Sorry the email could not be delivered. The user name@domain.com does not exist or is not authorized to use this forwarder.”

The user who forwarded the email is not authorization to use the Forwarder.  To allow the user to use the Forwarder, edit the Forwarder in QuickTix and enable their account.

Automated forwarding rules may not work.

If you configure your email service to automatically forward emails to QuickTix, you may experience issues.  If your email rule re-writes the envelope or sends a forward of a forward, delivery will fail.

This is not supported and will not be troubleshooted by our team.
