3. User messages’ retrieval
In order to retrieve user’s messages inside your ticket’s fields, you must use the “Set Session” action. This allow you to store the user inputs you need into session values you define. You can learn more about this action by reading our tutorials here or here.
In order to use a session value, you can use the following syntax:
- {{@message}} to reuse the user’s last message
- {{@session.session_name}} to reuse the session_name value. For example : {{@session.email}}Â
You’re good, you now can create tons of tickets 😉
