Can you set the secondary email for SSO

Our organization has different email addresses and AzureAD UPNs.
For example: UPN=name@example.com,  mail=name@example2.com

At this time, when we create a request via email, the SSO account is not tied to the ticket.
Freshdesk allows to define multiple email addresses for customer field.

Can I link multiple email addresses in SAML?

Greetings @M.th. We appreciate your reaching out to us.

Please note that Freshdesk only allows for one email address per agent. Therefore, it is not possible to have multiple emails for a user in SSO configuration.

However, we suggest considering the following scenario: if there are two emails, A and B, and A is the agent email, you can ensure that the email address A is always passed in claims in the SSO call, regardless of whether the user logs in via A or B. This approach may help you achieve the desired outcome of having multiple emails for a user at the SSO end. 

Kindly drop a message here for any queries.

If your requestors are signing in via SSO with their UPN but e-mail generated tickets are from an alternate address where their upn and mail AD values are different, you could map their mail attribute to their Requestor accounts Secondary e-mail address field.


Thanks for the advice.
> their Requestor accounts Secondary e-mail address field.

I don't know what attribute of Freshdesk to map the AzureAD mail field to, and it doesn't work properly.


If you’re utilizing SCIM integration within AzureAD you can map pmail] to ourn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:freshservice:2.0:User:_secondaryEmail]

 

Alternatively, if some users rmail] and nupn] match you will receive errors as the secondary e-mail can’t be the same as the accounts primary e-mail, in which case you would map an expression of nIIF([mail]=auserPrincipalName], "", mail])]

 

Hope this helps!
