Symptom
Tickets are created by E-mails sent from Contacts, but not from Partner Contacts.
Emails from Partner Contacts are routed to the Unassociated E-mail folder with the reason "No matching contacts were found".
Environment
Cloud for Customer
Reproducing the Issue
- Configure the system to create Tickets from Incoming E-mails.
- Send an E-mail from a Contact with an active E-mail address in the system and confirm that a Ticket is created.
- Send an E-mail from a Partner Contact with an active E-mail address in the system.
- Observe that no Ticket is created, and the E-mail is routed to the Unassociated E-mail folder with the reason "No matching contacts were found".
Cause
In the B2B Channel Configuration, the system matches the sender E-mail address against active Contacts in the system. Partner Contacts are treated differently from Account Contacts, and if no active Contact is found, the E-mail is routed to the Unassociated E-mail folder.
Resolution
Maintain Partner Contacts as Account Contacts in the system to ensure that E-mails from these addresses create Tickets automatically.
