    Hi,

    Not sure if you are online or onprem.

    Either way try a workflow:

    (Quick thoughts :) )
    on Create of email
    Check condition if regarding case of the email case contains data & direction is incoming
    if yes update status of regarding case to what you want.

    When you say external contact, I am not sure if you want to make this relevant.  You might be able to check the sender (contact) in the if condition if you do need it.

    Interesting, you can look at the process sessions to see if it is running / failing.  It should work almost immediately.  As you are online you could work with Power Automate too.

    Sorry I see :)

    Your 2nd step will not fire as it is not inside your if condition (that was my mistake for putting together the WF too quickly).

    Hi,

    You can use workflow to solve this problem.

    Check condition if regarding case of the email case contains data & direction is outgoing.

    The Status after the Case is created is in process, so the Status changed here is waiting for details

    The test results are as follows:
