Replies to Requester Notification Emails Go Nowhere

A
Rank

We are using the Requester Notification feature to send a "We received your ticket" automated reply when a ticket is created. It sends an email to the client.

If a client replies to that notification email, it does not create a ticket in Freshdesk or notify us the client replied - we've lost client replies because the client chose to reply to the Notification email that's in their inbox.

How can this be fixed or worked around?

@andre_20791 Thanks for bringing out the cause of the issue to light.

So the replies from the customers(contacts) to the various notification sent from Freshdesk will create a new support ticket inside your Helpdesk. This is because the notifications are sent from the primary support email you had configured in your account, and a reply to them will create a new ticket.

So as a best practice, we suggest you include the ‘ticket id’ placeholder in the subject line of any Requester Notification(Under Admin > Email Notification), so when the customer or agent replies to these notifications, Freshdesk will check if the ticket ID matches and will thread the response accordingly.

Cheers!
