Symptom
Sending an E-mail to the E-mail channel is creating Tickets with Default Account maintained in the channel although the sender of the E-mail is maintained as an active Contact in the system and is assigned to an active Account.
Environment
Reproducing the Issue
Pre-Requisite:
- An Active Contact with E-mail address abc@def.com is maintained and is associated with an Active Account XYZ (abc@def.com is the contact E-mail address and XYZ is the Account name)
- An Active E-mail Channel with a Default Account is maintained
Steps:
- Send an E-mail to the Active channel from the E-mail maintained as Contact
- Go to Service Work Center
- Go to Tickets View
- Open the new Ticket 123 (123 represents the Ticket ID created from E-mail)
- On the Overview see that the Customer determined is the Default account
- But you expected the Account to be XYZ which is associated to the contact
Cause
The Sender E-mail address is maintained for more than one active contacts in the system.
Resolution
An E-mail should be linked to only one active contact and if multiple/no active contact is found then the system creates a Ticket with the Default account maintained in the E-mail channel. This is system expected behavior.
Delete the E-mail from the duplicate contacts and maintain only one Active contact with the E-mail abc@def.com so the system can create Ticket with the Account associated to this Contact.
You can delete the E-mails from the contact by:
- Go to Customer Work Center
- Go to Contacts View
- Search using "abc@def.com"
- See the list of contacts in the results
- Open the contacts one by one and in the header section clear the E-mail address maintained as "abc@def.com".
- Save
