Prevent Case Creation from Specific Email Addresses
Summary
You are using Email to Case Premium and would like to prevent inbound emails from specific email addresses (spam addresses) from creating cases in your Salesforce Org. |
Details
Out of the box, Email to Case Premium will never intentionally prevent an email from being successfully processed and creating a case. That said, there are a couple of different ways to approach this type of situation. 1. The most practical solution we suggest is to reach out to your IT / Email Administrator and ask them to prevent emails from forwarding into Salesforce for the specific problematic addresses. 2. As a Salesforce Administrator, you may consider taking the route of creating a validation rule to prevent case creation. To create a validation rule to handle this situation, please follow the steps outlined below.
Please note: This KB article is provided as-is and customization with Validation Rules / setting up Email Forwarding rules is not supported. For further assistance, please contact your Salesforce administrator, Salesforce implementation partner, or your Internet Creations Account Executive to inquire about professional services. |
