Truncate the forwarded emails to Zendesk Support

Answered


Posted Jun 30, 2022

Hi,

We allow our customers to forward emails to our Zendesk email to create a ticket. But the problem we have is few of our customers forward pages of email conversation which ultimately creates a long Zendesk ticket. 

Is it somehow possible to truncate the forwarded emails and configure Zendesk to accept 'x' number or characters ?

Hey Zendesk Administrator,
 
I did some digging on my end and it doesn't look like there's a way to alter what exactly is forwarded from a customers email or set a character limit at this time. If this is something you'd like to see as a feature, I'd recommend creating a feedback post in our Feedback - Ticketing System (Support) topic for our product managers to review. 
 
You can also use the following template when creating your post: Product Feedback Post Template
 
I hope this helps!

Thank you Brett. Definitely helps!

In our case, customers tend to forward the entire thread to create a ticket which is not proving to be very effective considering the time involved in digesting the request and the subsequent back and forth. Hence was wondering if there was a way to overcome this. Any advice or have any of your other customer implemented workarounds ?

Also, If the forwarded email character count is more than 65K, will it be truncated and will there be any indication that the message was truncated for the agent and the requester?
