Incident E-mail Preferences

Incident e-mails are sent from the user who initiates the activity (e.g., creates a new incident, closes an existing incident, etc.) unless one of the following has been specified:

  • E-mail - Single From Address - sets a default “from” address for all e-mails.
  • E-mail - Default New Incident From - sets a default “from” address for new incidents only. If the recipient’s address is invalid, e-mails will bounce back to this address instead of the e-mail for the user who created the incident.

Note: The formats required for these preferences are listed in "Incident E-mail Variables."
