Create tickets from emails forwarded to Conversations

 We have been using Zendesk. They have a feature where we can forward an email from the client to an email address & it would create a ticket from that, but for the person who emailed me. In hupspot it creates a ticket for me and assigns me to it haha. Is there a way to change that?

Hey folks - this feature is live! If you forward an email from an end customer to any email connected with your Inbox, we'll  attach a Conversation (and ticket if you configure email to create tickets) to the original email sender.

Hi @mfreiert this was working for me then it just stopped. Can you advise if any other settings need to be enabled / setup for this to work. I am sending from my address to the address we have a shared mailbox for.

 

Thanks

Dear All,

 

I'm interested in that function too, but it seems it doesn't work.

 

Has it been retired ?

 

Thanks for your feedback

I'm interested in this too. It seems to not work the way it is supposed to work.

Really doesn't work for us either, would be great to get feedback on whether we should expect it to work or not.

@rmitchell1 @alanna-hill 

actually, it works pretty well.

Here are the two conditions to make it work :

  • Ensure the option is activated in your inbox (screenshot in french below)

  • The subjet of your mail should start with "FW" (for french people, this would, by default in outlook, starts with "TR" you must modify this "TR" to "FW"

 

tips : please note that if your customer forwards a mail from a colleague, in your ticket, the wrong customer will be selected (the colleague instead of the people sending the mail). this could lead to mistakes.

workaround : I use a dedicated mailbox : support.fw@mycompany.com when i need to forward a case (used internally only) and this mailbox is connected to the same pipeline than my customer mailbox support@mycompany.com

@NicolasChoupin Thanks for the tip, that clears it up a bit.  My organization uses Google for email, and the default is "Fwd:".  I'm guessing there isn't a way to change this default, but I wonder if anyone else has figured a way to fix this without manually changing the prefix of the subject each time?

@NicolasChoupin I tried, as you show in the image, email account set and "Choose original sender of email forwards" set to ON,  but not work.

The email has "FW" instead the original "FWD" maybe I forget something in the composition of the email?

 

Thanks

Dear @LLovegood I'll suggest to contact hubspot support.

I won't be able to help you on that, I'm pretty sure there is nothing else to do that you already did
