3433959 - Automatic case creation via Email channel is failing

Symptom

Environment

  • SAP Service Cloud Version 2 1.0
  • SAP Sales Cloud Version 2 1.0

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Send email to the designated email channel per your implementation
  2. Connect to you Service Cloud V2 tenant
  3. Navigate to Settings -> Emails -> Inbound Monitoring and confirm the email arrived
  4. Go to Cases, and still no case created

Cause

  • Incorrect implementation
  • Missing or incorrect configuration
  • A potential reason for the issue may be the absence of a mandatory Processor party, as defined, resulting in the failure of CASE creation.

Resolution

  1. Navigate to Settings -> Cases -> Case Auto Creation Monitoring
  2. Open the corresponding entry and review the associated exception.
  3. Assuming the exception is related to a Party Validation error, additional details may indicate a requirement for a party with the role of either:
    • "Processor"
    • "Account"
    • "Contact" etc.
  4. The CASE creation could be failing due to a missing Business Party. To check:
    1. Go to Settings -> Cases
    2. Open the relevant Case Type and check what is the Party Schema. For example, "CASE,"
    3. Check the following scenarios:
      1. Let's assume the failure is due to the Processor Party Role being configured as mandatory.
        • Then in that case, you can activate the routing rules and attempt to reprocess the email (via Case settings - Case Auto Creation Monitoring).
        • A case should be created successfully after this action.
        • Using the Case Routing Rules you can also determine other Party Schemas
      2. Alternatively, if the Party Role is Account, Contact etc, then you can set up the Email Channel to:
        1. Use the "Auto-create an Individual Customer" or
        2. Automatically set a Default Party
