Respect Reply-To Header in Email and Help Desk

What it is

HubSpot now uses the Reply-To email header to decide the sender for contact creation and outbound replies in Help Desk and the Conversations Inbox, so replies reach the intended recipient and CRM records stay accurate. This is in public beta across all hubs and tiers.

Why it matters

Support teams often get email where the From address is not the real sender, which sends replies bouncing, creates the wrong contact records, and breaks conversation threads. Honoring Reply-To fixes a quiet source of bad data and, per the release note, unblocks Customer Agent adoption for thousands of portals by bringing HubSpot in line with how other tools already behave. If your inbound support runs through a forwarding address or a ticketing relay, this is the one to test first.
