**Auto Incident Creation from Case Email**

**Description**
This inbound email action automatically creates an incident record when a customer replies to a case email containing keywords like outage, crash, error, or not working.
The new incident links to the case as a parent and inherits caller and configuration item details.

**Use Case**
Ideal for CSM environments integrated with ITSM, where customer issues escalate to incidents automatically.

**How It Works**
1. The inbound email action scans the subject and body for trigger keywords.
2. If a match is found:
- A new incident record is created.
- The incident is linked to the case as a parent.
- Caller and CI are inherited if available.
- Work notes of both case and incident records are updated.

**Inbound Action Configuration**
- Table: Case[sn_customerservice_case]
- Action type: Record Action
- Type: Reply
