Hi guys

Below are a couple of (edited) examples of the subject lines we get in emails from our Zendesk.

Example 1: [Our Business Name] Assignment: Re: student blogs for school

Example 2: [Our Business Name] Re: Fwd: Urgent, School upgrade to Highlights

How can we remove the [Our Business Name] or [Our Business Name] Assignment: -

We just want it to display the ticket title without the stuff at the start. I dont think its necessary to say our business name at the start of the email subject as it says this in the From: section

    Hi,

     

    In a follow up to this, I'd like to remove the "Business Name" from ticket replies. I've successfully removed it from the triggered auto responses, but I haven't found the place yet where I can tweak ticket reply formatting.

    Hey Greg!

    I think you'll find what you need here: Customizing your email templates. Let us know if you need anything else!

    I've edited the subject line on my 'Notify requester of received request' trigger but it's not working.

    The subject is 'RE: {{ticket.title}}' and 'RE:' is being ignored.

    Why is this? 

    I haven't been able to find any information about why this isn't working.

    Hi Jo,

    Are you expecting that the Subject line would show up as the new subject on your tickets or just in the email notification that is sent out?  

    If you want the ticket subject line to change use the Set subject action in your trigger.

    I use to be able to change the subject line when receiving a ticket.  Main reason is, customer always forwards an advertising email with an account issue other than noted.

    I try to these past couple weeks and it will let me type in, but goes back to subject title. Change is for pending tickets.

    Hello @MARIA LOGAN,

    This is likely due to the Subject Field being deactivated in Ticket Fields, making it no longer editable in tickets.

    To reactivate the Subject field.

    1. Navigate to Admin > Manage > Ticket Fields and click the Inactive tab. 
    2. Hover over Subject, then click the field options icon () and select Activate.

    For more information about ticket fields, see Editing and managing your ticket fields.

    Best regards.
