Getting Started
Your First Ticket
Send a test ticket and see Keva in action
After connecting your email, it's time to see Keva handle a real ticket. This guide walks you through sending a test and understanding what happens.
Send a Test Ticket
The easiest way to test is to send an email to your connected support address from a different email account.
Sample Test Email
To: support@yourcompany.com Subject: Test - How do I reset my password?
Body:
Hi there,
I forgot my password and can't log in. Can you help me reset it?
Thanks,
Test CustomerWatch Keva Work
1. Ticket Appears
Within 30-60 seconds, the ticket appears in your Keva inbox at Tickets.
You'll see:
- Customer email and name
- Subject line
- Initial message
- Auto-assigned priority
2. AI Analysis
Keva automatically:
- Categorizes the ticket (e.g., "Account Access")
- Assigns a priority based on content
- Checks for relevant knowledge base articles
- Looks up customer history (if any)
3. Response Generation
Based on your autonomy level:
Understanding the Activity Timeline
Every ticket has an activity timeline showing exactly what happened:
| Event | Description |
|---|---|
| Ticket created | Email received and processed |
| AI analyzed | Classification and priority assigned |
| Draft created | Response generated |
| Response sent | Email delivered to customer |
| Status changed | Ticket status updated |
What to Check
After your test, verify:
- Ticket appeared in the inbox
- AI generated a reasonable response
- Response matches your brand/tone
- Test reply was sent (or queued for approval)
- Activity timeline is accurate
Adjusting AI Behavior
If the response wasn't quite right:
- Tone issues: Adjust in Settings → AI → System Prompt
- Wrong information: Add knowledge base articles
- Too aggressive: Lower autonomy level
- Too conservative: Raise autonomy level
