Ticaga needs your email address just for the Lets Encrypt SSL (You won't get emails from them).

We recommend Reverb to get the best out of Ticaga. You don't need it but you'll loose the following features:

  • Viewing Tickets (Employee's and customers) but visible to just Employees.
  • Collision Detection to see if someone is replying to the ticket already.
  • Live chat (Paid Extension).
