We have tickets submitted through a portal that I can customize but we just started having emails turned into tickets. There are no fields filled in. Is there a way to have a required form filled out in the email that will translate to a ticket? I don't see how to customize tickets that are made from emails.
Thank you!

Hi @Wendy Morency,
No, indeed. Emails are parsed into tickets through 1 single form that only has Summary, Description and Attachments. The title of your email will be mapped to the issue summary, the email body ends up in the description field and any attached files will be added as attachments.
Email is usually a free-form input tool by design and as such not very suitable to capture structured input. That means that you'll have to add certain steps in your ticket workflow where e.g. your agents add some additional fields when they process incoming tickets.
Or you could look into a marketplace app like email this issue, that does allow you to parse incoming emails into structured fields. That is based on regex expressions, which still implies that the email senders must apply certain structure and or keywords when they compose email messages to your service desk mailbox.
Hope this helps!
