Hello @aleff.silva,

Thank you for reaching out to Atlassian Community!

When a customer replies to notification and instead of adding a comment, a new ticket is created, it means that the person who replied to the notification doesn’t have permission on the ticket.

Only the reporter, request participants, and members of an organization the ticket was shared with can comment on a ticket.

Some common issues where new tickets are created:

  1. A ticket is created by CustomerA, and they receive a notification. CustomerA forwards the notification to CustomerB and CustomerB replies to the notification which will go to CustomerA but also to support@domain.atlassian.net and it will create a new ticket because CustomerB wasn’t added to the ticket. 
  2. CustomerA creates a ticket and shares the ticket with an email that is group email/distribution list, so, many people will receive the notification and if they reply, a new ticket will be created, because who has permission on the ticket is the groupemail@domain.com and not CustomerB@domain.com.
  3. Another issue that happens frequently is that some people use a mail client like Outlook and they access more than one inbox on the mail client. So, they receive a notification on email1@domain.com, but end up replying with email2@domain.com which doesn’t have permission on the ticket.

With all this said, it’s important that the customer who created the ticket adds other customers as CC at the moment the ticket is created via email (in case customers are allowed to create their own accounts), so they will be added as a participant or after the ticket is created, in the customer portal, there is an option called “+ Share” on the ticket where they can add the email address of the people they need to have access to the ticket. 

There is also a bug related to this and the fix is being implemented:

If you have any other questions regarding this matter, please let us know.

Kind regards,
Angélica
