# Adding recipients to Request Participants

The **Add to Request Participants** action adds the selected recipients to the **Request Participants** list.

* If the customer does not exist, the action creates a customer with the email address and adds them as customer to the project before adding them to the Request Participants.
* If the customer already exists, but is not a customer on the Service Management project, the action adds them to the project as customers, then adds them to the Request Participants.
