File Notes & Emails to Cases

You can file any note or email to a case. Filing notes & emails helps you link information to  both a contact page and a case.

Filing notes

When adding a note to a contact's page, click the  Show options link and select a case from the pull down options. You can search or scroll to find a case.

When you add your note, it will also be added to the selected case.

File existing notes or emails

You can also edit an existing note or email to attach it to a case.

Hover your cursor over the bottom of the note or email and click the  Edit link. Use the pull down menu to attach it to an existing case, then save your changes.

The note or email will appear on the case page  and on the contact's page.

BCC or Forward emails to a case dropbox

Every case has a unique dropbox address, visible at the top of the case. You can add emails from your inbox by forwarding or BCC'ing a case dropbox address.

Highrise will receive the email and automatically attach it to the correct case in your account. Here is more information on using case dropbox addresses.

File email to create a new case

You can create cases via email by using your Highrise dropbox address. Forward an email directly to your dropbox address, and place the new case directive in the body of the forwarded message.

/case NEW CASE

Adding  /case NEW CASE to the email will create a new case that includes the email you forwarded. You can replace NEW CASE with whatever you want to name the case you're creating. See an example.
