CRM Email to Case Process Recreating Old Cases

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

We have the email to case process set up and working fine. However, it will sometimes recreate a case from an email that was sent previously.

For example, I sent an email to our help desk address which created the case in the system. Once I saw what I needed, I deleted the case. A week or so later I got an email notifying me that a case had been created and assigned to me. I went and looked and it was the exact same case that I had created via email the week before.

Any idea what is causing these cases to be recreated? Sometimes they come in a batch at a time so I get flooded with notifications for duplicate cases.

Thanks in advance

    Is the incoming email getting sent multiple times causing the duplicate case to be created.

    I would also check the record creation and update rules.

    Also why are you deleting the Cases? What if the case is not deleted does it still create a duplicate case.

    Hi Brandon,

    I would close the case rather than delete it. This will stop this happeneing
