Settings

WHMCS

Before you start your actual work on support tickets with Emoji For WHMCS, move again to 'Addons' → 'Emoji' → 'Ticket Settings'. This section of the addon allows an easy and comfortable management of the way the tickets are displayed in your client area, their visibility, sorting etc.

In the first box 'Options', you may enable some basic settings that will be applied to tickets view in the client area. Let's now discuss their functionality in details: Template Name - if you decide to change your current template in your WHMCS, then change it here as well. Your custom templates are also available Allowed Departments - select which of your 'conversation fields types' from Emoji shall be available as departments in the WHMCS ticket system Type - choose the default Emoji department type for exported tickets from WHMCS system

Our module allows to export data gathered in your WHMCS, more specifically, all the users and tickets generated before the installation of the product. Read the below points to learn what data can be synchronized with Emoji and what are the possible means of such synchronizations.

Users

The first option offered by our module is the export of users from WHMCS to Emoji, proceed to 'Clients Export' . Here you will find a list of all the users who exist in your WHMCS and have not been synchronized with Emoji yet.

Tips

1. Exporting clients or tickets in the current module version may seem a bit slow. This is due to the Emoji API limitations, for this reason a more efficient export method could not be implemented.

2. Once the module is configured, support team can manage new tickets only from the Emoji panel. They will no longer appear in the WHMCS administration support section.

3. The module does not support 'Emoji Classic' . Only Emoji cloud-based platform is supported.

Update Instructions

Essential guidance through the process of updating the module is offered here. Keep in mind there is a quick and easy option in our client area that will let you upgrade the license of your module to an open source version at any time - and at a lower price! To take advantage of it, simply use the License Upgrade button located on the product's page and a discounted invoice will be generated automatically.

Common Problems

1. When you have problems with connection, check whether your SELinux or firewall does not block ports.
