Hi Servicenow Community,

 

How can I achieve a requirement where, when a hyperlink is clicked, it opens a new email, and the response is captured in the Additional Comments or Work Notes in Sctask or RITM?

For example, the user responds to the email with:
"Yes, the issue is resolved." or
"No, the issue is not resolved."

Example below hyperlink that when clicked it will open a new mail in outlook.

Hi @Xhare ,

 

Use a hyperlink in the email (e.g. mailto or portal link) to initiate a reply, and configure an inbound email action with a script that reads email.body_text and writes it into work_notes or comments on the respective SCTask or RITM record.

 

Try checking notification email script and Inbound email, might be some issue in that as well.
