Ticketing Queue Custom E-mail
When we went onto KACE SMA 9.0, we had to set up custom ticketing rules in order to notify on a new ticket (the CC rules stopped applying to new tickets for some reason). Now, I found sql code online for setting this up if you want the same users notified of any ticket, regardless of the category. However, I am hoping to find a way to set up a custom rule that fires off an e-mail to a certain group of people only if a certain category is selected. Here is the sql code I have now, and I tried putting in CAT.NAME LIKE '% %' down at the WHERE line, 4 up from the bottom, and that did not work. Any thoughts?
SELECT
HD_TICKET.ID, -- $id
HD_TICKET.ID AS TICKNUM, -- $ticknum
HD_TICKET.TITLE, -- $title
DATE_FORMAT(HD_TICKET.CREATED,'%b %d %Y %I:%i:%s %p') AS CREATED, -- $created
DATE_FORMAT(HD_TICKET.MODIFIED,'%b %d %Y %I:%i:%s %p') AS MODIFIED, -- $modified
-- change fields
C.COMMENT, -- $comment
C.DESCRIPTION, -- $description
GROUP_CONCAT(CONCAT('----- Change by ', UPDATER.EMAIL,' at ',H.TIMESTAMP,' -----\n',
H.DESCRIPTION,'\n',H.COMMENT,'\n\nPlease see your ticket at http://********/userui/ticket.php?ID=',H.HD_TICKET_ID,'\n')
ORDER BY H.ID DESC SEPARATOR '\n') HISTORY, -- $history
-- about the updater
UPDATER.USER_NAME AS UPDATER_UNAME, -- $updater_uname
UPDATER.FULL_NAME AS UPDATER_FNAME, -- $updater_fname
UPDATER.EMAIL AS UPDATER_EMAIL, -- $updater_email
IF(UPDATER.FULL_NAME='',UPDATER.USER_NAME,UPDATER.FULL_NAME) AS UPDATER_CONDITIONAL, -- $updater_conditional
-- about the owner
OWNER.USER_NAME AS OWNER_UNAME, -- $owner_uname
OWNER.FULL_NAME AS OWNER_FNAME, -- $owner_fname
OWNER.EMAIL AS OWNER_EMAIL, -- $owner_email
IFNULL(OWNER.USER_NAME,'Unassigned') OWNER_USER, -- $owner_user
-- about the submitter
SUBMITTER.USER_NAME AS SUBMITTER_UNAME, -- $submitter_uname
SUBMITTER.FULL_NAME AS SUBMITTER_FNAME, -- $submitter_fname

-- about priority
P.NAME AS PRIORITY, -- $priority
-- about status
S.NAME AS STATUS, -- $status

Modify this section:
WHERE
C.DESCRIPTION LIKE '%Created%'
to this:
WHERE
C.DESCRIPTION LIKE '%Created%'
and CAT.NAME = "Category name"

Thanks once again @chucksteel! That worked perfectly.
One more question I have; when a user submits a ticket via email, they of course do not have the ability to specify a category. Is there a way to cause a new ticket e-mail to trigger to certain people based on certain key words in the e-mail subject line or body? - jmorton 5 years ago-
Sure. Instead of checking C.DESCRIPTION use HD_TICKET.TITLE or HD_TICKET.SUMMARY. For instance:
HD_TICKET.TITLE like "%monkeys%" - chucksteel 5 years ago-
LOL at the "monkeys". Thanks again sir. - jmorton 5 years ago
What can I change on this SQL Code to where when I add comment it will automatically go to "'****@****.****' AS NEWTICKETEMAIL -- $newticketemail"

Do you want a query specifically for adding a comment or any change? For any change you can remove the C.DESCRIPTION LIKE '%Created%' so the where statement looks like this:
WHERE CAT.NAME = "Category Name" - chucksteel 5 years ago-
Just need a query specifically for adding a comment to the same distribution list that is in the CC list and also '****@****.****' AS NEWTICKETEMAIL -- $newticketemail - SoheebH 5 years ago
