Where to edit New Activity email?


Forum|alt.badge.img

I got an email titled “New Activity” as follows:

 

I want to change the content of this email but can’t find it in Email Notifications -> Agent Notifications.

Can anyone tell me where it is?

Did this topic help you find an answer to your question?

Hi @kwan_kwan_12345 

 

Greetings from Freshworks community.

  • The watcher notification is standard for all accounts and is not customizable inside Freshdesk.
  • Email notifications for ticket creation is available from the Free plan; 'Add watcher' action is available on the paid plans (Growth, Pro, and Enterprise).

Alternatively, instead of adding a person as watcher, you can create ticket creation/update rules to send email to Agent (tagged watcher) where the content of the Subject and body can be defined.

 

Cheers

Why has the format of these email suddenly changed? And why can we still not customize them?

Seemingly overnight, the whole format of these “New Activity [#123456] “ emails changed, and is now much less useful for our agents.

Before, it used to show what the actual ‘new activity’ was in the email body and link to the ticket page itself, but now the body of the email is only the contents of the ticket itself (not the new comment/reply), and all the links to the ticket automatically go to a “reply” box in the ticket

 

and in addition: at least one of our agents is now getting BOTH the old format and the new format of these emails!

Can we get this on the feature backlog to have some control over the template for watcher emails.
