Set Up Email Piping - cPanel
On this page
You can pipe support ticket reply emails into WHMCS with cPanel.
- Email piping and email importing use separate configurations and are distinct methods of retrieving email replies.
- Email piping is part of our support ticket system and does not impact how your WHMCS system sends mail to admins and clients. For steps to configure system mail, see Mail Providers.
