E-Mail to Queue Doesn't Generate Outbound Notifications

RT Users

Hi,

I have a web form that is sending an e-mail directly to an RT Queue address. Tickets are being created based on those e-mails, but no messages are being sent out to the queue watchers when the new ticket is created. There is nothing in the ticket history that says any attempt to send out any e-mail was made. Is there some option I have to set to cause the queue to send out an “Here’s your RT tracking number” e-mail for this queue?

Tim,

Yep. Do you have notification scrips set up for your watchers (AdminCc,
Cc) in that Queue and are those scrips enabled?

I do now. :slight_smile:

The problem was, generally, that I inherited this system from someone who abruptly disappeared and didn’t leave any documentation. He had each queue set up with its own list of (sometimes odd) scrips. I have changed the system so that all my queues now use only the global scrips, and I now have global scrips that do all the proper notifications.

Thanks!

You have to create a scrip that says to email watcher.
