Ticket ZD support 11478385 - Ticket not updated after cc removed
Posted May 17, 2023
Interesting case that was brought to my attention by a team member and that I went through with Jim from Zendesk Support to investigate: ticket not being updated after a reply from the message's recipient.
Context:
1) Ticket is created proactively by an agent who sends an email from their personal inbox to the recipient and our support address (in CC)
2) The recipient replies to the email and zendesk removes their address from the "to" field and moves it to the "cc" field
3) Ticket is updated multiple times by the requester (which in this case is the agent that wrote the first email, not the recipient) via email coming from apple mail client, and from another agent who is using comments and internal notes in Zendesk
3) The requester replies to the last internal note of the agent and, in order to keep the comment not visible to the recipient, removes their address from cc
4) The recipient send a new reply, and the reply does not update the ticket.
Through the investigation Jim and I did, we understood that by removing the email addresses from the cc field and updating the ticket, the "header", which is a unique identifier of the ticket, was removed for the user who sent the reply, and this is the reason why the ticket was not updated.
While this behaviour is technically expected, it's not really optimal: everybody would like the ticket to be updated if that user reaches out again. While this is definitely an edge case, it is advisable to fix this behaviour.
Happy to provide more details if needed, and thanks for reading this.
