Hello,

 

I have an org that uses email-to-case and we run into the issue where customers will search their email for their last communication with us and reply to it rather than sending a new email. This creates the problem of reopening a very old case but also associates the incoming email to an old case for a different support issue.

 

It seems like you cannot edit the ParentId of an EmailMessage record to associate the new email to a different case. Ideally, when someone replies to an old case, I'd like to be able to create a new case and relate the new email to that case rather than it being related to an old case and issue.

 

Does anyone know of a solution to be able to associate emails with a different case?

 

Thanks,

Tyler

    @Michael Brown, when you cloned the EmailMessage record to the new case, did that start a new thread? Meaning, if someone were to reply again, would it get related to the new case and not the old one?
