Email responses to KACE Service Desk Email not adding to existing ticket
I'm trying to use emails to generate tickets, but I'm hitting a couple of issues.
First, when I try to reply to an existing ticket email from the support email I am expecting this email to be added as a comment to the existing ticket. But the email is instead creating a new ticket.
Second, I'm trying to set certain values, primarily priority and category, using email variables (@category=<value-name>) as shown in the Admin manual, page 734. I include these variables on separate lines at the top of my email, but when I do no changes are made to the tickets I create or the tickets I try to update. I've made sure that the fields I want to edit are set to "User Modify" for the queue I'm working in, but it hasn't helped.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

1. Some of my KACE generated emails were losing the "TICK" string that was in the subject line of the email. A response to these emails generated a new ticket. Checking the subject line fixed that.
2. After formatting my emails as plain text I was able to set the variables from the email.
Make sure the Subject is like:
RE: [TICK:XXX] Issue
TICK can be located in any place within the Subject.
2- Strange, make sure there are no spaces, Could be a new setting in the new version causing that, check with Support. - Channeler 5 years ago
Are your emails in plain text? I have found that HTML emails don't work well for updating fields. - chucksteel 5 years ago
