Sending an email when a ticket is created

Sending an email when a ticket is created

Hello 

Here's a question from our support agents:

Is there a way to send an email to the customer when creating a new ticket in Desk?

The way I see it working now, when a ticket is created, you have to go to that ticket, then reply all to get an outgoing email to the customer.

Is there a way to remove that extra step?

Thanks
Peter
