Adding CC's from an email as Watchers on Create Ticket

Hi

Most of my tickets are created via emails to the RT system. When this happens, the CC’s from the email are not automatically added as Watchers.

Is this possible to change?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Alan,

I wrote a custom scrip to do this many years ago, see the RT wiki:

Hi Alan,

AddWatchersOnCorrespond - Request Tracker Wiki

For create there is a config option. The scrip is only really
required for existing tickets

Alan,

To do this universally, you want to set the following configuration:
Set($ParseNewMessageForTicketCcs , 1);

To do it on a Queue-by-Queue basis, I added a scrip for that to the wiki for
both create’s and on-going correspondence.

Hi,

Make sure you set RTAddresRegexp in your config if you are going to use
ParseNewMessageForTicketCCs.

If you don’t, terrible things can happen…

P.S. Kenneth, sorry for the reply to you specifically :stuck_out_tongue: we just switched
email platforms and I wasn’t paying attention to what I was doing :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks!

Alan,

Mike’s point is well-taken. You don’t want and endless list of duplicate
tickets, which will happen if you don’t follow Mike’s point.
