Issue with Creating Multiple Records from Emails in Case & Incident

Hi ,

Greetings!!

We have a scenario where a client sends three different emails, and these emails are configured to create records in Case and Incident tables.

However, we are facing an issue:

  • The system processes only one email and creates a record in one table (either Case or Incident).
  • The remaining two emails do not create records

    We need to ensure that all three emails create separate records in their respective tables. However, since the Message-ID is the same for all three, the system is ignoring the other two emails.

    Question:

    • How can we allow all three emails to create separate records in Case and Incident tables, even if they have the same Message-ID?
    • Is there a way to override Message-ID handling or configure ServiceNow to process all emails as separate requests?
    • Any best practices for handling multiple email records in Case and Incident modules?

    Thanks in advance for your help! 😊

this KB should help

How emails with duplicate Message ID's are handled in ServiceNow 

Set this property "glide.email.allow_duplicate_message_ids" as false
