Created Tickets Through REST API Cannot Be Replied to or the Email Is Never Sent to the Requester at All

Overview

When you create a ticket through Kayako REST API  while using the 'staffid' instead of 'userid' or 'autouserid', the ticket gets created but but no user is linked to it. As a result, when staff replies on this ticket, the outgoing emails are broken or can't be replied to. Or sometimes, the email does not get sent to the user at all.

This was a bug identified in version 4.93.07 and the issue was fixed in version 4.93.11 and higher. A fix was deployed to the code to create a user when only 'staffid' is provided when creating a ticket using REST API.
