Need Email Reply to a specific address to create incident

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.

Thanks for the reply Najmuddin.

I have tried that, but no luck.

I am testing in in DEV by going to System Mailboxes>Received, then creating a new email, but it comes up empty.  

I am probably doing something wrong there...

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

Thanks Justin.
