Adding emails to an existing ticket

yikes123

is there a way to add email conversations to an existing ticket?  I know I can forward a ticket to CREATE a ticket.  But when I wan to update a ticket with a conversation say with a 3rd party, how do I add that email?  Is the only way to save the email and upload it as a file attachment?  I was hoping for something better.  Thanks.

Hi yikes123​,

If you have new tickets that can be created when sending emails, you can use subject-specific replies to update tickets from emails too.

For example, you could create a new ticket by submitting an email with the subject 'Access Intranet' to help@yourhelpdesk.here, this will create a new ticket with that specific subject.

If you then wanted to update the ticket, you could either reply to the ticket confirmation email, or create another email that references the subject-specific features. By default, this would be "Ticket 1 Status --> Access Intranet".

Additionally there are ways of updating parts of tickets via an email, such as updating the status of the ticket by using: Status:YourStatusHere

I believe the most reliable way to update a ticket with a reply whilst sending it directly to the client is by replying to the initial ticket email that was submitted/created which has the pre-filled subject-line ready for you.
