Responding to FootPrints Email

Customers can receive email updates when their Requests are registered, updated, and closed. You may also have the option to respond to notification emails to communicate with the Agent working on your Request.  For example, if the Agent suggests a fix to your problem, you can respond to the notification email informing her that the fix was successful.

To respond to notification email from FootPrints:

  1. Use the Reply button in your email package (Outlook, Lotus Notes, etc.) to respond to the email.
  2. The email contains important information about the Issue in the subject line (e.g., Entry=n,ProjID=3, etc.)  This information must be kept in the subject line of the reply email; this is how identifies the Request.  The reply-to address must also be maintained.
  3. Type your message to the Agent at the top of the email above the Please Reply Above This Line note .
  4. Click Send to send the email.  Your reply is threaded to your Request in FootPrints and the Agent is notified.
