Weโ€™ve just rolled out another improvement to our Support Case Management system, this time focused on making life easier for our customers.

You  can now add Case Watchers in the Support Portal. Watchers receive no-reply email notifications whenever a case is updated, whether that is via Email or Portal Post.

Why this matters:

โœ…   Great for Realm and Account Admins who want lifecycle visibility without being CCโ€™d on every thread

โœ…   Enables executive awareness on high-profile or sensitive cases

โœ…   Clean, structured notification including case ID, subject, who updated it, and the update content

โœ…   Sent from our no-reply mailbox to keep communication intentional and clutter-free

We're proud to be delivering something customers have explicitly asked for.

A watcher can be added to a case initially, at the time you create your request, but also later - from the case layout. The updates are much clearer and targeted, eliminate mailbox clutter and work with both Chat post and Email. Adding someone as a Watcher is โ€œset and forgetโ€ for the case lifecycle (unless they are removed manually). 

Case Watcher is now available to all customers who have access to the support portal, regardless of their plan!

Celebrate with us this next step toward stronger transparency and enterprise-grade case management ๐Ÿš€

Tested it and it's a little overeager in the number of emails but more is always better. Now I want to see if my non-quickbase account can open the ticket and add comments?

Hi Jim!

You are right, the "watcher" is capturing conversations from the ticket's Post/Email feed and is issuing a notification to emails added to this field.

If I understand correctly, your end goal is to be notified on any updates happening across your realm's tickets, is this correct?
We can certainly explore such options for realm/account admins on the backend, without too much hassle on your side.
Let me know and I will review this internally and get back to you.
