Forwarding your emails to tawk.to

The instructions below are for desktops and laptops only.

You can forward emails from your existing support or business email address to your tawk.to property. This allows incoming messages to appear in the Tickets section of your Inbox, helping you manage conversations from one unified platform.

How email forwarding works

Each property in tawk.to has a unique Ticket Forwarding Email that receives forwarded emails. When someone sends a message to your business email (e.g., support@yourcompany.com), it gets forwarded to this email and appears in your Messaging inbox as a new ticket.


Note: You’ll need to set up forwarding in your email service provider’s settings. The steps may vary depending on the platform (e.g., Gmail, Outlook, Zoho).

How to find your Ticket Forwarding Email

Follow these steps to get your Ticket Forwarding Email:

1. Log in to your tawk.to account.

2. Select the correct property.

3. Click Administration in the top menu.

4. Click Ticketing under Channels in the left menu.

5. Copy the address under Ticket Forwarding Email.

Use this address as the destination for any forwarding rules you set up in your email provider.

Email forwarding may vary from one email service to another. For example, if you use Gmail, go to Settings > Forwarding POP/IMAP and Add a forwarding address.

Viewing forwarded emails in your Inbox

Forwarded emails will appear in the Tickets section of your Inbox. From there, you can reply, assign, and manage tickets like any other conversation.

Important considerations

  • The reply-from address
    When you respond to a forwarded email in tawk.to, your reply is sent from the forwarding address provided by tawk.to, not your original business email.

  • Sender info
    The original sender’s name and email will still appear in the ticket, so you know who you're replying to.

  • One address per property
    Each property has one unique Ticket Forwarding Email. You can’t customize or create multiple forwarding emails for a single property.

  • Spam filtering
    Ensure your email provider doesn’t filter messages from tawk.to’s system as spam, especially when verifying forwarding.
