Ensure Customer Email Replies Thread to Original Ticket

Discover how to ensure customer email replies are added to the original ticket in Zendesk by using CC notifications instead of targets.

How can I ensure customer email replies are added to the original ticket in Zendesk?

To ensure customer email replies are added to the original ticket, avoid using targets for notifications. Instead, use the CC feature to notify end users. When they reply to a CC notification, their response will be threaded to the original ticket as a public comment.

Additionally, there is a paid app by Ontec available in the Marketplace that allows you to forward entire ticket conversations to any external email. When the recipient replies to the forwarded email, their comment will be threaded to the original ticket as a private comment.
