Secondary Email Mapping

I’ve seen a couple of forum threads through searching, but have not been able to find resolution.  We have a different UPN than we do primary SMTP address.  As a result, when provisioning accounts in advance via Azure provisioning, it creates their Freshservice account utilizing the UPN/email address.  So the user already has an account since it’s been provisioned prior to them accessing the portal or otherwise initiating any action that would trigger account creation.

When they email into the support address, it will create another account for them using the primary SMTP address.  I know that I can merge these, but it’s rather cumbersome.  The other option I see is to manually add the secondary email address.  Is there a way that I can automate this via mapping attributes or otherwise?  I don’t want to have to remember to do this for each new user.

Hello, 

 

Add the SMTP to the secondary e-mail in the SCIM integration? 
 

I’ve just battled with this for an hour, so thought I’d share the answer!

 

Go into ‘Edit Attribute list’

Create a new String value

urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:freshservice:2.0:User:_secondaryEmail

 

You can then map this to the ‘mail’ field in AzureAD

 

This will then pull the users primaryemail field (separate to username)
