admin create new post via mail
I have been searching this forum and I have yet to find exactly what I am after.
There are plenty of options to create a new topic via email, and reply to a post via email, basically conduct whole forum topics and replies through email, but what I want to do is the following. I run an online business, we get support requests and product information requests at a huge rate, and I have long thought this would be good to get on a forum to help others who may have the same question. Now, the problem is, getting the customers to actually post his/her question on a forum rather than dropping us an email. Its much easier to simply email us. What I would like to do is create a forum (I am thinking VB is best here) that allows me to post these emails as forum topics (allowing the customer a measure of privacy of course - ie not post his/her name as the username) at the same time emailing the customer the response, and when the customer emails me back, I get the email, as well as a reply on the forum topic. The customer could also be encouraged to post there directly. The workflow I envisage is as follows.
As I understand there are a few modules that do something close to this, but not quite. I am yet to decide which forum software to go to, what is the feasibility of having someone code this for me with a rough budget in doing so? I emailed vb presales my enquiry saying I would happily pay for this to be coded as long as its feasible, and they said to come here as there are plenty of people to help. I think this would be a great way to kick of the forum, there are a few spam concerns etc but nothing that cannot be ironed out I am sure. Thanks for any advice. Here are the "almost" ones I have found. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=151222&highlight=email+post+topic &page=51 https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=40595 |
