Notify Group when un-owned ticket is created

I would like to notify the members of a particular group when a ticket is
created (via email or the guy) without an owner already assigned.

Sadly, I have no idea how to go about this. Is there a section on the
wiki that deals with stuff like this?

Best regards, Ruslan.

Ruslan provided this information to me about a month ago. I’m a complete
newbie when it comes to RT – I’ve set it up, but have never tried to make
it do anything doesn’t do out-of-the-box.

As you can see, I need to make it do something different now, and I’m
afraid I’m completely lost. I’ve stumbled around all day, and this is
what I’ve come up with. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

I’ve created a new Scrip and named it NewTicketNoOwner. The condition is
“On Create”, the action is “User Defined”, the template is "Global
Template == Correspondence.

The custom condition I’ve got set to:

return undef unless ($self->TransactionObj->Owner eq “Nobody”);
return 1;

I’m not sure whether I want to return 1 or 0, or maybe anything at all???

I also have no idea how to use RT-Action-NotifyGroup. I’ve read all the
docs on it I can find, and none of it makes sense to me (I’m not a perl
guy, and this object-oriented-looking perl is just that much further away
from anything I can relate to).

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide. I hope I’m at least
on the right track!!
