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!

That's strange. Your email log is empty. Normally this would show all of the inbound actions that were executing on the message.
You may want to check your logging properties.
Would you happen to have any inbound email flows running in your environment that could be stepping on your actions?
