Hi Manisha,



There is already a OOB Inbound action for same Named as Create Incident.



current.assigned_to = email.body.assign;



you have to type



assign:UserID in email and inbound will read and set it automatically.



THanks,


Abhishek

HI Manisha,



In left navigation type Inbound action.


find_real_file.png



Open the Inbound actions and search for create incidents


find_real_file.png



open the create incidents.we have current.assigned_to= email.body.assign;


find_real_file.png



So whenever we will email to our servicenow instance putting in body assign:(Servicenow userid)/


it will automatically get assigned to that user.



Thanks,


Abhishek
