Allow Additions or Change to the "To:" Line on a Ticket Reply

The inability to modify the "To:" line when using the Ticket Reply feature creates some problems.  I know that we can forward a Reply, but there are times when a Reply is a more appropriate action.  Adding someone to "Cc:" may not appropriate or effective.


Consider the following use cases.


* The recipient on the "To:" like is no longer valid

* The recipient of the ticket needs to change to someone other than the individual who opened the ticket.  For example, someone in a business unit opened a ticket, but the work to address the issue needs to be performed by the company's central IT team.


Please add support for allowing an Agent to edit the "To:" line on a ticket reply.

@LenSmith have you already discovered the ability to edit the ticket's requester? This will result in a different "to" recipient. :)


@FreshdeskI know there are lots of requests for this, but just adding my voice to the community – it would be really great to be able to have many different "to" recipients. When people are added as a CC, they often end up not reading the email, and that would be a problem when you need them to take action.

I am running into the same dilemma here and hopefully Freshdesk support can give us updates.

@Alvin Gatus I’m sure you’re aware you can change the original requestor by updating the original ticket, however, having the ability to ADD additional email addresses to the “to” line would be awesome.

 

right now we utilize the CC instead - and if the address needs to change, we update the original ticket.

Sure!

 

You go to the original request on the ticket and click on the edit button

 

It will open the original message to the right hand side, and you can change the “TO” address here:

 

Then click “SAVE”  and now when you respond it will go to the address you changed it to.
