Create ticket from email

According to the documents I looked in, it is only possible to create new
ticket is from WEB and CLI, I could not find how to create ticket from
email.
is it possible?
is it requires any customizations?

Monti,

I believe you have to set your configuration to allow the queues to 

accept email directly to the correspondance email address.

When you send it to the “correspond” address, it will create a new ticket if the following is true:

the user has Create Ticket rights
there isn’t a ticket number (RT syntax) in the subject that will update an existing ticket.From: rt-users-bounces@lists.bestpractical.com on behalf of Monti gmail

There are several ways to do that depending on exactly what you want to trigger the CF (custom field). Check out the wiki and archives for examples on scrips to look for certain words. Alternatively you can take a look at the mail commands option. Do a search on cpan for it, you can set CF’s through there too.From: Monti gmail

Hi,

you don’t need create. For that you also user correspond.
