inbound action not working

Trying to build an inbound action to create an incident, i'm using our test environment, I have copied the existing inbound action sample and only added a filter for what the subject contains to assign it to a special group. the action is set to active, and i can see where the email is coming into the system, but looking at the log, it does not seem to be processing the 'create incident' portion, and in the log the Deleted box is checked.     Any ideas?

Ok, for the inbound actions, they're typically setup so that when one is processed, the rest down the line (with higher orders) are skipped. In this case it looks like you have an inbound action creating a new call record from the email. If you look in the inbound actions table you should find one called Varex Create Call. I would check the order on that inbound action and then set the order of your salesforce inbound action to be a lower number than that one. That will process your salesforce action first.



Generally you want to set your more specific inbound actions to run first and then a more generic catch all.



PS: New call in ServiceNow is like a staging record so someone can triage it and determine whether it ends up as an incident or request.
