Email Notification

We are running RT 1.07 with a mysql backend & sendmail. I am very limited
in my knowledge, so please forgive any obvious ignorance. When a client
replies to a tkt, it updates RT just fine; however, is there a way to notify
the person assigned to that ticket. We have found several times that
clients have responded, but their response was overlooked for hours,
sometimes days because the individual assigned to the ticket never received
a notification of any sort. Has anybody found a way to incorporate this
type of notification? We are not able to monitor RT 7X24, so this is an
issue of great concern.

Hello, i don’t know for RT1, but in RT2, you can set a rule like this:
OnTransaction NotifyOwner Transaction

With this rule, owner of the ticket receive a mail update everytime there is
a
transaction on the ticket (re-opened, closed etc…)

Hello Todd,
This question is for rt-users, not for rt-devel…
I don’t know RT 1.x, but in 2.x just have to add a “Scrip” with the
Condition “On correspond” and launching the Action “Notify Owner” with
the template (for example) “AdminCorrespondence”.
You can add scrips configuring the Queue, following the menus:

Configuration->Queues->(Select your Queue)->Scrips

If you go into the administration GUI (/cgi-bin/admin-webrt.cgi) and select
the queue for modification, you’ll find several checkboxes for
notification. You want “notify owner on transaction”.

It’s also useful to set the ticket’s status to “stalled”, so it will
disappear from the queue (assuming you only select “open” tickets) until
it’s replied to, at which point it will automatically change back to “open”
and be displayed in the queue.
