Email Body as Ticket Description

Email Body as Ticket Description

Many of my customers use the support email instead of the portal to enter tickets. When this happens, the "Description" field is left blank. The email subject is automatically entered as the ticket subject when tickets are created this way - I would like the body of the original email to go into the ticket description in the same way.


I followed the suggested automation from the ticket here: Automation #7 - Auto-update Email Content to a Ticket (zoho.com)

However, when creating the rule, in the Actions section, I do not have an option for "Custom Functions" to input the provided script. 

Is there any adjustments to the automation needed for the latest versions of ZOHO Desk, or is there any other way to achieve what I'd like?

    • Using Agent Email Address as From Address

      Currently, while replying to a ticket, it is possible for agents to choose their own email addresses as 'from' addresses. Although we built this just for that little extra flexibility, in hindsight, it hasn't figured much in conventional usage.  Almost all businesses prefer that responses to their customers' tickets be sent from the common support/service email address and NOT from those of individual agents. During personal interactions at events, some of you have even made passing mentions about

      I'm trying to add an interview without much luck. The documentation gives examples of adding just about everything except an interview. However, the issue might be the way I'm formatting it, because the documentation is unclear to me. It seems as if the xml should be passed in the url, which seems unusual. I've tried the data as both plain and character escaped, but nothing seems to work, nor do I even get an error response. https://recruit.zoho.com/recruit/private/xml/Interviews/addRecords?authtoken=***&scope=recruitapi&version=2&xmlData=<Interviews> <row
