How can I add ticket comments to a side conversation?

You can include one or more ticket comments as part of a side conversation to avoid copying and pasting information. To do this, locate the comment you want to include on a ticket, then select 'Forward via email' from the options menu.

A side conversation will appear with the ticket title and comment already included. You can add introductory text and a forwarding address. If you want to include multiple comments, start a side conversation and click the comments icon at the bottom of the message to select the comments you want to include.
