[Notice] Update on Email Reply Handling for Follow-up Notifications

2025-07-03

Target Audience: Channels using the "Follow-up Email" feature

We’d like to inform you about an upcoming change to how email replies from follow-up notifications are handled.

︎Effective Date

  • Thursday, July 3, 2025

◼︎What's Changing

  • Before July 3, 2025:When a customer replied to a follow-up email, the response appeared in the existing Channel Talk chat thread.

  • After July 3, 2025:Replies to follow-up emails will now be received as a new email user chat, rather than appearing in the existing chat thread.

◼︎Why We're Making This Change

  • Separating follow-up email replies into new user chats improves the efficiency of chat management and provides clearer conversation history for support agents.

◼︎ Additional Information

  • Even before this update, replies to follow-up emails from already closed chats were being received as new email user chats.

  • With this change, the same handling will now apply to follow-up replies from ongoing chat conversations as well, ensuring all follow-up email replies are handled in newly created user chats.

If you have any questions about this update, feel free to contact us via Channel Talk.

Thank you!
