Dear Now Community,
Need to seek your advise how I can set up an Inbound Action following below requirement :
- Condition should read the recipient on BCC
- Action is it should create cases depending on the Mapping that would follow the recipient on BCC.
Example: To: is Empty CC: is Empty BCC: @domain.com ; @domain2.com @domain3.com
- Expected results . It should create 3 cases based on the BCC mail address (the mapping is created)
Thank you in advance for your time.

Hi Kris,
My understanding of BCC is that the recipient (in this case the Instance) can't tell that it has been BCC'd. If you send an email to "Foo@gmail.com" and bcc "Bar@gmail.com" then the email that Bar receives is "To: Bar@gmail.com".
This means that your logic can't work.
Would maybe CC work?
Thanks,
Andrew

Dear Andrew ,
Thanks for your response. The mails for this Inbound Action to be set up is not on the CC . The mail sent out is on the BCC list as it's a auto generated mail. This can't be change on the sender's end. So when the mail arrives in Servicenow it's on the BCC . And the requirement should create 3 separate case or tickets in this example As there 3 mail address on the BCC list (which has different assignment rule).
Hope I made the requirement clear. 🙂
Thank you!
Regards,
Kris

use below line in your inbound action condition field.
email.headers.toLowerCase().indexOf("add _email_address_here") != -1
If my answer helped you, kindly mark it as correct and helpful.

Dear Harshvardhan,
Thanks for the information. If the requirement would have multiple email addresses ? will this script applied ? Would it be possible to place a domain only or should put the full mail address ?
Please advise
Thank you!

Kris
