Customizing Ticket Template for Mail Connector
When the Mail Connector converts e-mail messages into Tickets, it uses the message information. Namely, the Ticket's Description, Requester, and Summary fields are populated with the e-mail's Body, Sender, and Subject values, respectively.
In addition, the Mail Connector uses the Ticket Template to assign initial values to other fields of newly created Tickets. For example, the Ticket's Status is set to New, and the Submit Date - to the actual date and time of Ticket creation.
In case that incoming e-mail does not have a Body, Sender, or Subject value, you can set the initial values for the Description, Requester, and Summary fields. The Mail Connector will use them only when the value in the e-mail message is empty.
