Add email addresses to the “To” or “Cc” fields in a standard email message and do the same in HelpDesk. You can reach multiple recipients with your message by adding multiple recipients to the loop. This way, every person related to the case can stay informed.

The “People in the loop” field differs from the “Cc” field in your inbox. 

In standard email messages, you can see multiple email addresses in the “To” and “Cc” fields, but in HelpDesk, messages are sent separately to each recipient included in the ticket.

To add more message recipients, click “+Add more people.”

Key principles of using “People in the loop”Link icon

All email addresses added to the “People in the loop” field actively participate in the exchange of messages and can see the content of the entire message. They’re also free to reply to the ticket.

Please note that once you remove the email address from the “People in the loop” field, that person will no longer be able to respond to the ticket.

Why can’t you see other recipients in the message thread?Link icon

First, adjust your email template to ensure that recipients can see every person added to the message. If your email template is set up correctly, all people added to the loop will see other recipients, the subsequent messages, and the ticket history.
