Salesforce Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for Salesforce administrators, implementation experts, developers and anybody in-between. It's 100% free, no registration required.

Possible red herring, but this seems to coincide with the release of Spring '13. On a Case record:

  1. if a support engineer clicks "Send an Email", an email is sent to the Case Contact's email. [good]

  2. if a support engineer clicks "New Case Comment", an email is sent to the Portal User's email. [bad, last week it would be sent to the Case Contact's email.]

The new behaviour affecting 2. is problematic because the Portal User's email may not be the Case Contact's email. I recognize one is created from the other, but there are circumstances when they are out of sync:

  • the customer changes their email address, we update the Contact but forget the Portal User,
  • in Social Sign On implementations, where we don't want the user to have a username/password because they would be able to circumvent Auth.RegistrationHandler.updateUser()

Is the recipient of a Case Comment Notification configurable to use the Case Contact's email address?

Certainly looks to be a bug, I've been impacted by it as well. We've dropped back to sending all emails from outlook until this can be cleared up - not the best solution for automation! – ca_peterson Feb 8 at 0:41
