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 Customer

Watch 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:

EventDescription
Ticket createdEmail received and processed
AI analyzedClassification and priority assigned
Draft createdResponse generated
Response sentEmail delivered to customer
Status changedTicket 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:

  1. Tone issues: Adjust in Settings → AI → System Prompt
  2. Wrong information: Add knowledge base articles
  3. Too aggressive: Lower autonomy level
  4. Too conservative: Raise autonomy level
