Insert a Customer Portal Incident Link

There are two ways to link to incidents from B2C Service. Inserting a Customer Portal Incident Link lets you link to the incident that triggered the sent message. Inserting an Incident Link lets you link to any incident you need to reference in the message sent to your customer.

For instance, the standard Question Receipt email sends a confirmation message after a customer submits a question through the Ask a Question page, an email, or a chat session. By adding a Customer Portal Incident Link to your Question Receipt message template, you can provide your customers with easy access to the incident created from their question. See How You Customize Messages.

    Customer Portal Incident Link Window

    Field Description

    *Text

    Enter the text you want to appear as the link in this field.

    Class

    Enter any class name you want to assign to the link in this field. You must define the class in your HTML content by either using the <style> tag to define the class inline, or posting the class in a CSS file on your web server and referencing it with the <link> tag.

    Note: Because few third-party mail clients consistently support CSS, you should use style attributes instead of CSS.

    Style

    Enter any style attributes you want to assign to the link in this field. Style attributes define how the text appears, such as color and font (for example, color: red; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic).

    Target

    Click this drop-down list and select the target for the link: New Window, Same Window, Parent Window, or Browser Window.
