Replies to Email-Target Notifications Create New Tickets
Why do replies to email-target notifications create a new ticket in Zendesk?
Replies to email-target notifications create a new ticket because the target notification system is not designed to thread replies to an existing ticket. Instead, it is expected behavior for a new ticket to be created when a reply is sent to a target notification.
To ensure that replies are added to the original ticket, you should stop using targets as your notification method. Instead, CC the end user on the ticket so they receive a CC notification. When they reply to this notification, their response will be added to the ticket as a public comment. For more details, you can check out the article on configuring CC and follower permissions.
