Communication

This column groups the following actions together:

Reply via Note

This action allows you to reply to an article if the original article is a note. The reply via note screen is very similar to the add note screen.

Reply via Email

This action allows you to reply via email to the article. The reply via email screen is very similar to an email client screen.

If the sender of an article is not the customer user, this action sets the original sender into the To field and adds the customer user to the Cc field for external articles. If the article is internal, then the original sender is set into the To field (if email is available) and the customer user is not added to the Cc field or any other fields.

For this action the ticket needs to be locked to the agent who is performing the action.
