Reopen or create a child case for a closed HR case

Hi Team,

 

We have got the below requirement from the client. Could you please help on achieving either one of the 2 solutions as asked:

 

An email comes in on a closed case; instead of placing the email in the closed case – can there be functionality to automatically trigger 1) reopen the closed case, put the case back in open dashboard & change status to DRAFT

Or

2) automatically create a child case under the closed case – the child case would appear on the open dashboard under DRAFT and would bring the parent case # into the new case

 

Thanks!

Hi Ankur,

 

I commented the event that was firing the notification to the user for when a case is closed, as you can see in the below code ss, and tried a code for creating a new case. But after sending a reply, ots not creating a new case. Can you please help with what I'm doing wrong here
