In my community, we have a helpdesk team, in addition to our @moderator and @admin teams. The team uses a @helpdesk group to private support via personal messages, and the Tickets Plugin 🎟 to ensure follow up. Currently, automated messages are created, as tickets, from a team member’s own username …

Not a bad idea, but I’m not sure if this is possible. Remember that posts and topics in Discourse are always created by a person, not a group, so I suspect this would break a bunch of fundamental low-level assumptions in Discourse.. cc @sam ?

Technically for messages this should be fine, there is a possibility this could be crazy enough to work :full_moon_face:

Thanks, Jeff and Sam! If this could work technically, what would be the next steps for making it happen? Is it fairly easy for you to implement and is it something you want to do in the near future? If not, I will move forward with my alternative idea. [صورة] tobiaseigen: an alternative might b…

Thanks, Sam! Finally have some time to try to think about this. I think I understand what you’re saying. It does mean I proceed with my alternative plan: [صورة] tobiaseigen: If this is too weird, an alternative might be to simply create a helpdesk user, and set that username as the site contact…

[صورة] tobiaseigen: Am I right in understanding that with your proposed improvement, messages sent to and from the site_contact_username would also include the site_contact_group_name ? If so then this definitely solves the OP and I’m happy. Yes this is what I am saying :blush:

I don’t know when you snuck it in there, but I now see the site contact group name site setting. Thanks! :seedling: [32%20PM]
