When setting up Automation rules in Freshdesk, adding multiple email addresses is more tedious than it should be.

Right now, if you want to match against a list of specific users, you have to type or paste each email address one at a time as separate conditions. This gets frustrating fast, even with a relatively small list.

What’s frustrating:

  • You can’t paste a list of email addresses into a single condition
  • Each address has to be entered individually
  • Building out rules with multiple users takes longer than it should
  • Easy to make mistakes when entering a lot of addresses manually

What would help:

  • Allow pasting multiple email addresses into a single field
    • Comma-separated or one per line would both work
  • Support a condition like:
    • “Requester email is one of (list)”

Why this matters:

  • Saves time when building or updating rules
  • Reduces manual entry and errors
  • Makes working with even small lists much less tedious

Example:
If I have 10–20 users I need to include in a rule, I should be able to paste that list once instead of creating a separate condition for each email.

This would be a small change but would make Automation rules much smoother to work with day-to-day.
