How to create a request when an email is sent to a specific email address.

I need to create a request when an email is sent to a specific email address. What configurations are required for this?

Currently, my org has an existing email-to-incident setup, where sending an email to vjdev@service-now.com automatically creates an incident. However, I want to create a request instead when an email is sent to vjtest@service-now.com.

Since incident creation is handled by an inbuilt Email Action, how can I configure the system to create a request specifically for emails sent to vjtest@service-now.com?

Note: Please do not change anything with the existing vjdev@service-now.com email rule. It will continue to work as it is.

@Ankur Bawiskar Do I need to contact ServiceNow support to create an email address like 'vjdev-security@service-now.com'?

@Vijay Kumar4 

for this you need to reach out to the person or refer the document who worked on 1st point.
