Hi @Ankur Bawiskar ,

 

Thank you for your reply.

 

I am not sure what will be the filter for checking if existing requested item has same short description.

New requested item's short description should not be same as existing requested item short description and requested for should not be same.

@Ankur Bawiskar short description and requested for of the existing requested item should not be same for new catalog item.

@Samiksha2 

so user will be replying to an existing RITM email and the inbound action triggers and you will create new RITM and REQ?

Also how is the data received in email from user? i.e. format etc?
