Tickets not showing
If you’ve submitted a ticket without an error and the ticket history is blank here are some steps to take to help get it working:
If you recently upgrade to the latest Help Scout API please do these before continuing to the next steps:
- Confirm the API settings are correctly set. Under some circumstances things will look as though these settings are accurate because of the lack of error messaging, however this is the #1 cause.
- This includes making sure the oAuth app that was created has the correct permissions.
- Use the Reset Customer IDs option within your Help Scout admin settings.
- Wait 5-10 minutes for older cache to reset.
- Proceed to the next steps if the issue persists.
Was the message submitted and added to Help Scout?
NO: If the message was not submitted, confirm your API credentials and mailbox id.
YES:
- Check the assigned “customer” to that newly created message, making sure it was assigned correctly.
- Cross reference the WordPress user’s email (that submitted the issue) with the customer id that the message is assigned to in Help Scout.
- Check to make sure the url after submission has “thread_success=1”. If it does not then the conversations cache isn’t being reset.
- Let us know within your support request if the submission form is on the same WordPress page as the table…it should be.
Are you logged in as a WordPress user?
You should be, otherwise submitted tickets wont have a user to tie with the Help Scout customer.
If this doesn’t help please let us know via support.
