Any update on this?


  • November 7, 2022

This is a feature we would be very interested in as well. Our use case is to take an order email that is sent to us from a customer or vendor and then forward that email to another 3rd party while retaining formatting. Are there any updates on this feature?

Still no update? It's a basic thing we need in working with email.

An update would be great. As our team grows, support agents need to be able to forward mail from zendesk to other team members that do not require it.

Does anyone know of any helpdesk software that easily forwards on emails that is similar to zendesk?


It is 2023 and this request was made back in 2018 yet no update. My team needed this feature badly. This feature works on freshdesk very well.

I can't believe the negligence of Zendesk regarding certain things. Here we have yet another simple feature that would help a lot of costumers, that has been requested numerous times for over 5 years and yet no action has been taken, not even a reply on updates-. So expensive as your product is and given the fact that your product is about customer support and satisfaction, I would expect much more from you.

Hey all, forwarding an comment from a ticket as email is possible with side conversations if you have a plan that includes them. If you enable the side conversations email channel, there will be a "Forward via email" item in the comment menus in the conversation log. The comment will be included in the initial side conversation message, and you can add additional content.

I'm beginning to think that a simple forward email function will never happen at this rate. It's been 6 years!

I am currently working around it by adding everyone in the org as a light user and then adding them as a follower.

It works ok, but it can suck if you work cross-team with a bunch of orgs who don't use Zendesk.
