Hello!
We currently have two Inbound Email Actions configured to create Incidents when an email is sent to the Service Desk group email address, we'll call it JoeBob@ServiceDesk.com.
The first action (Create Incident) creates an incident whenever a NEW email is sent to JoeBob@ServiceDesk.com
The second action (Create Incident- Forwarded) creates an incident anytime an email is FORWARDED to JoeBob@ServiceDesk.com.
Both of these work as they should.
The ask is that we create an action for Replies.
Scenario:
A Service Desk employee receives an email directly from a user asking for help.
The Service Desk employee replies that he will be able to assist, but he wants to add JoeBob@ServiceDesk.com to the email so that an Incident is automatically created.
I can't seem to find a way to make this happen. I'm hoping I can copy one of the working Actions and make a few tweaks.
I am new to ServiceNow so I appreciate any assistance!
Thanks!

Hello @WR2 ,
There is type filed 'Reply' in the When to run. You can check with this functionality.
And, what defines as a Reply email to ServiceNow,
Navigate to All > System Properties > Email properties.
If the above information helps you, Kindly mark it as Helpful and Accept as a solution.

Can you include a screenshot of the email from the email log to see the subject line?
