Hi Jeff,

Please use below code:-
  
trigger AssociateEmail on EmailMessage (before insert) {

    for(EmailMessage eMsg : Trigger.new) {
        
		if(eMsg.Incoming && (eMsg.subject == '' || eMsg.subject ==  null)){
		
		  eMsg.subject = 'Add your subject here';
		}	
       
    }

}

if you need any assistanse, Please let me know!!

Kindly mark my solution as the best answer if it helps you.

Thanks for the answer, when I use that I still have no subject on my case, I have a flow that is set up that when an email is submitted the email subject line is the case subject. I am trying to keep that flow and email to case active but look when an email subject is blank or null and set a value. I have Milestones that are tied and when no subject is set those are not kicked off. 

Is this still the right path to set a before trigger? 

Thanks
