How to Automate Email to INCIDENT

[Dinesh_Now]

Hello Team

Suppose we receive an email request. Currently, we manually create an incident for the appropriate team and then reply to the email with the incident details.

Is it possible to automate this process?

For example, when an email is received, the system should automatically create an incident, assign it to the appropriate team, and send a reply email to the sender with the incident number and details.

Can you share the ideas how and where step by step please ?

already this should happen with OOTB inbound action of type NEW on incident table

is that not happening?

you can utilize that

once you create INC and assign proper fields etc then OOTB notification can kick in and send the email to the caller i.e. the user who sent email to instance

Yes, it is possible to use the Inbound action for this. However, to be clear, it will only work in PDI since email has restrictions in PDI."

Hi @Dinesh_Now 

Other than Inbound Action , it can achieved via  Flow Designer (No-Code).

Refer this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhnUFrE5mGM&t=4s

1. Open Flow Designer.
2. Create a new Flow with the Trigger: Inbound Email.
3. Add an Action: Create Record (incident Table).
4. Map email fields (like Subject,Body etc) to incident table fields
