Replies to Email-Target Notifications in Zendesk

Understand why replies to email-target notifications create new tickets in Zendesk. Learn about configurations for linking replies to original tickets.

Why do replies to email-target notifications create a new ticket in Zendesk?

Replies to email-target notifications create a new ticket in Zendesk because the system treats these replies as new incoming requests. This behavior is due to the way email targets are configured, where the original ticket is not linked to the external email communication.

If you need replies to be associated with the original ticket, consider using other methods or configurations that allow for such linking. This ensures that all related communications are kept within the same ticket thread for better tracking and management.
