It would be good for agents to have secondary e-mail as well.
 

A customer having there SAMAccount adress as primary login in FS and primary e-mail as secondary for requesters.  Customer then need 2 profiles per agents One with the primary e-mail as a requester and agent profile with the login adress. 

The reason is that the SAMAccount do not change, the primary e-mail can. They have implemented that in their IDP. 

What happens for agents is 

Agents can’t see tickets they have emailed in to the system. They then need assume access to see there own tickets. (Solved  it using WFA with  WR/API to change the requester to the agent profile in FS) 

Ticket will not be created on the original sender  when an agent  forwarded an e-mail to FS /FD. 
(I guess I can solve that with a WFA/RW/API in FS as well.)

 

 

 

Converting to agent will delete all the secondary emails of this contact' message | Freshworks Community

Allow Agents to have a multiple email addresses like requesters do | Freshworks Community

 

Any other scenario you have seen that would simply for if agents would be have secondary e-mail ?

Wow - I haven’t had a need for this quite yet - it’s one of those things you assume would just be there (like it is for contacts). We have recently put some thought into changing our username schema - again, it’s one of those things I thought would be a benign change in FreshService, but so glad you tagged me on this thread - now, I know, it’s not such a simple change.

Of course, we can work around it using the API, but that’s just eating up API hits and doing unnecessary work. Thank you for pointing this out, Daniel!
