Understanding personalized email replies

Personalized email replies include the sender's name in the Reply From address for email notifications. This feature works with both internal and external email addresses, enhancing communication by clearly identifying the sender. You can disable this feature if you prefer not to display names in outgoing emails. Adjust these settings in the Admin Center under Email settings.




When an agent or end user adds a public comment to a ticket in Zendesk, the
user's name is included in the Reply From address in email notifications.
This feature is called personalized email replies and can be turned
off to omit the user's name if you want.

About personalized email replies

Personalized email replies are used in email notifications originating
from both agents and end users. The sender can be any type of Support user (an
internal agent or admin, or an external end user), and the email
notification can go to any recipient. For example, a request can add
a public reply to all CCs on the ticket.
When an agent adds a public comment to a ticket, the email notification
includes the agent's alias, if there is one, or their
name from
their user profile. When an end user adds
a public reply, the email notification includes the end user's name
from their user profile.
With personalized email replies enabled, the user's name is included in
the Reply From address.

The example below shows how email notifications look to end users if you
turn off personalized email replies.

Personalized email replies work with all of your Zendesk Support email
addresses, whether you are using variations of your Zendesk email
address (support@yoursubdomain.zendesk.com) or external email
addresses. They also work with wildcard email
addresses. If you have wildcard emails enabled, and a
user sends email to an address that is not a known support
address, the Reply From address will use your default support
address and include the user's name.


Note: If you have email pass through enabled,
it overrides personalized email replies.




Examples of personalized replies in email addresses

When you have personalized email replies enabled, the replying agent's
name or end user's name is included in the Reply From address in
email replies. The address used in the Reply From address depends on
whether you use a Zendesk address or an external email address to
receive support requests.
