Emails are being merged into old cases instead of creating a new case

Posted on by

We would like to better understand the logic of how email are being merged into cases.

The problem is that we have some old cases that are being reopened if a new email is received although the email has a new title and is sent for a different question. Is it based on the Regarding field? 

I have the same question (0)

    Hi Tatiana

    Emails do not “merge” with cases as such. You convert activities such as Emails to a case which would then create a case and associate the email with it.

    and yes, regarding field is the one to link an email to a case  hence, I suggest you check if anyone is associating these emailS with wrong/closed cases.

    Hope this helps!

    This is probably happening because you have used up the tracking token numbers, you can extend the number of digits to help aleviate the problem.

    yeah one of the possibility if the CRM token has already reached its limit. so you might see either duplicate cases or merged with old cases.
