Global Queue Change - problem with script execution (newbie)

We’re setting up RT to handle our IT Service Desk, with an inbound
“triage” queue which we intend to split out to Infrastructure, Rental
and Business Systems work queues.

I want our analysts to be sent an e-mail when the Service Desk pass
something back from triage into one of the work queues, and a Global “On
Queue Change” scrip seemed to be the right way to go (eventually I’ll
want to do some more clever call allocation stuff as well, but for now
I’m adopting a ‘keep it simple’ approach!).

The scrip is :-

Description: Queue Transfer

Condition: On Queue Change

Action: Notify AdminCCs

Template: Global template: QTransfer

Stage: TransactionCreate

The Template is:-

Name: QTransfer

Description: Transfer of ticket

Content:

A ticket has been transferred to this queue.

Ticket #{$Ticket->id()}

Requestor: {$Ticket->Requestors->MemberEmailAddressesAsString()}

Description:

{ $Ticket->Transactions->First->Content; }

I have a group created for each work queue, which is configured to be
AdminCC on the queue, but when I open a call in the triage queue and
change it to one of the work queues, no e-mail!

Am I missing something fundamental here? Any help would be appreciated -
we’re using RT 3.6.6, against Apache 2.2.3 with perl 5.8.8 installed.

Cheers,

Steve.

At the top of the template put the mail headers something like:
RT-Attach-Message: Yes

Then leave atleast 2 lines blank before you add your text, give this a
try and see if it works.

Thanks for the thoughts so far, guys - unfortunately it doesn’t seem to
have made any difference! I’ve also tried changing from a group as the
AdminCC to a user, but that didn’t work. Then I tried building a scrip
on the destination queue rather than keeping it at global level, and
that’s not playing ball either.

Given the old adage that 90% of IT problems are permission based, is
there a particular permission that needs to be set on the queues (either
source or destination) in order for this scrip to work? The following
permissions are set up for a permitted user on the destination queue:-
CommentOnTicket; CreateTicket; DeleteTicket; OwnTicket; ReplyToTicket;
SeeQueue; ShowOutgoingMail; ShowScrips; ShowTemplate; ShowTicket;
ShowTicketComments; StealTicket; TakeTicket; Watch; WatchAsAdminCC.

Aha!

Found the problem - it’s a total schoolboy error. Checking syslog netted
me a “No recipients found. Not sending.” line, and I’d missed the fact
that the executor of an action doesn’t get included in the e-mail
distribution.

Apologies, and many thanks for your efforts, Roy & Kenn!

Agreed :�)
I could n’t think of any other header lines to demonstrate the point.
