Auto assignment of queue and owner via autoreply template

All RT tickets are generated in the ‘general’ queue i.e. users want to send
all requests to rt@sunysb.edu. Before the auto response is sent to the
requestor, I want to assign the ticket to an appropriate queue and owner.

For this, I have copied ‘Autoreply’ global template to the ‘general’ queue.

I am new to perl & RT and was wondering if RT perl gurus help. I want to
accomplish writing if …else… conditions to assign an owner and queue
based on subject within this autoreply template before an autoreply is
generated. One of the RT gurus had helped me to assign an owner to the web
queue, when tickets were generated for the web queue (rt-web@sunysb.edu);
Generally, a second notification is sent out for auto assignment of owner
but the suggested way by RT guru did not send the second notification.
Therefore, I would like accomplish this by using a local autoreply template.

For example… to assign the ticket to the database queue, my search will be
on keywords like ‘database,mysql,sql,oracle,accounts,sqlserver,graddb’ ; For
network queue, my search will be based on keywords like 'network, power,
NTP, www, slow, port, timeout, dns, wireless, remote, nfs, vpn, net, subnet,
telecon, router, switch, ftp ’
Currently, I have 6 scrips in the general queue that assigns queue and
owner. I would like to combine these together within the ‘Autoreply’
template.

Any help & responses to this mailing will be appreciated!

Example scrip for database in the “general” queue:
###<>
my $data = ‘database,mysql,sql,oracle,accounts,sqlserver,graddb’;
my @match = split(‘,’, $data);
my $t_subject = $self->TicketObj->Subject;
foreach my $val (@match) {
if ($t_subject =~ /^${val}\W/i ||
$t_subject =~ /\W${val}\W/i ||
$t_subject =~ /\W${val}$/i)
{
return 1;
}
}
return 0;

###<>

my $newqueue = “4”;
my $newowner = “brian”;
my $T_Obj = $self->TicketObj;
$RT::Logger->info(“Auto assign ticket #”. $T_Obj->id ." to queue #“.
$newqueue );
my ($status, $msg) = $T_Obj->SetQueue($newqueue);
unless ($status) {
$RT::Logger->warning(“unable to set new queue: $msg”);
return undef;
}
$RT::Logger->info(“Auto assign ticket #”. $T_Obj->id .” to user #".
$newowner );
my ($status, $msg) = $self->TicketObj->SetOwner( $newowner );
unless( $status ) {
$RT::Logger->error( “Impossible to assign the ticket to $newowner: $msg”
);
return undef;
}
return 1;

Testwreq,

I do the same thing, only I use a Custom Field called “CFO-Org”. When a
ticket is created, that CF MUST be selected and based on that value, I
pre-assign the ticket owner. It looks like this:

Condition: On Create
Action: User-defined

Custom Prep Code:

my $trans = $self->TransactionObj;
my $ticket = $self->TicketObj;

set new ticket owner id value

42 - Bob

148 - Carole

5125 - Ted

9324 - Alice

73886 - Frank

my %orgs = qw(
Budget-Direct 148
Budget-Indirect 148
Controller-AP 5125
Controller-AR 73886
Controller-GA 148
Controller-PR 42
Facilities 42
Field OPS 42
OCFO-Other 42
Procurement 9324
Property 9324
SPO 73886
Travel 5125
Other 42
);

my $cf = new RT::CustomField($RT::SystemUser);
$cf->LoadByName(Queue => $ticket->QueueObj->id,Name => “CFO-Org”);
return 0 unless $cf->id;
my $cfvalue = $ticket->FirstCustomFieldValue(‘CFO-Org’);
my $ownerid = $orgs{$cfvalue};

set Ticket Owner ID

$ticket->SetOwner($ownerid);

return 1;

Custom Clean-up Code:

return 1;

I hope this helps.
