Service Desk Custom Notification Rule

Hi Everyone

I currently have a custom rule setup which sends an email to a group of admins saying a new ticket has been created. In some instances though one of the admins logged the ticket themselves and already made someone the owner before they saved the ticket initally. Therefore a email to the group of admins is just a waste.

My question is, is there a way to send the email to the group only in the case that a new ticket has been put in with the owner field blank.

 

Thanks for your help

In your select statement for the rule you should be able to add

AND HD_TICKET.OWNER_ID = 0

This will make the rule only match tickets without an owner.

If you aren't sure where this goes in the SQL you can post the select query here and we can show you.

  • Thanks for the response Chucksteel. I tried the statement that you suggested in a couple of different places...no luck.
    Here is the query:

    SELECT
    -- ticket fields
    HD_TICKET.ID, -- $id
    HD_TICKET.ID AS TICKNUM, -- $ticknum
    HD_TICKET.TITLE, -- $title
    DATE_FORMAT(HD_TICKET.CREATED,'%M %d, %Y') AS CREATED, -- $created
    DATE_FORMAT(HD_TICKET.CREATED,'%I:%i:%s %p') AS TCREATED, -- $tcreated
    DATE_FORMAT(HD_TICKET.MODIFIED,'%b %d %Y %I:%i:%s %p') AS MODIFIED, -- $modified


    -- change fields
    C.COMMENT, -- $comment
    C.DESCRIPTION, -- $description

    • You want to place additional criteria in the WHERE clause, so you need to add it beneath C.DESCRIPTION LIKE 'TICKET CREATED%' - chucksteel 11 years ago
      • I cannot thank you enough! - Kevino2010 11 years ago
