Notifying Owners and AdminCcs without duplication

Julian_C_Dunn2 · April 14, 2005, 7:36pm

I am fielding user complaints about the same issue described here:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=rt-users&m=108981445015303&w=2

Looking through the archives, there was no response to Brett’s query at
the time. Can anyone advise if there is a solution to this issue?

Not sure why your searches didn’t pull up the answer, but at the end of
the above message he ponders a “notify Owner and AdminCC” scrip, which
is exactly the right solution:

insert into
scripactions(name,description,execmodule,argument,creator,created,lastup
datedby,lastupdated) values (‘Notify Owner and AdminCc’,‘Sends mail to
owner and AdminCCs’,‘Notify’,‘Owner,AdminCc’,1,now(),1,now());

insert into
scripactions(name,description,execmodule,argument,creator,created,lastup
datedby,lastupdated) values (‘Notify Owner and AdminCc as
Comment’,‘Sends mail to owner and AdminCCs as
comment’,‘NotifyAsComment’, ‘Owner,AdminCc’,1,now(),1,now());

Then adjust your queue to run one of these scrips instead of the two
individual scrips.

This is exactly what I thought I would need to do to solve this problem
today when I ran into the same thing. I had already done something similar
for a different scripaction so I was familiar with modifying the database.
However, it isn’t reducing the duplicate emails. I still receive two emails.
Looking at the sent email record, it is sending it to me in the To and Bcc
fields.

My scripactions tables looks like:

My scrips are:

On Correspond Open Tickets with template Blank
On Owner Change Notify Owner with template Transaction
On Create External Autoreply To Requestors with template Autoreply
On Create Notify AdminCcs with template Transaction
*On Correspond Notify AdminCCs and Owners with template Admin Correspondence
On Correspond Notify Other Recipients with template Correspondence
On Comment Notify AdminCcs as Comment with template Admin Comment
On Comment Notify Other Recipients as Comment with template Correspondence
On Resolve with template
On Create Internal Notify Requestors and Ccs with template Correspondence
On Correspond User Defined with template Correspondence
On Correspond User Defined with template Blank
On Correspond Notify Requestors and Ccs with template Correspondence

The relevant scrip.

I’ve looked this over multiple times and don’t see anywhere that the scrip
is being duplicated. As far as I can tell, the action to notify AdminCcs and
Owners isn’t removing the duplicate email addresses.

Looking at the ticket, I only see a single email transaction being sent out
which makes me believe this isn’t a duplication issue. The email shows
headers like:

RT-Originator: jason@other-domain.tld
Bcc: jason@domain.tld

We are running RT v.3.4.2.

Any thoughts on why the email is being duplicated?

Thank You,

I think I made the fatal mistake of emailing this right before a holiday. At
the risk of annoying everyone, I thought I might resend it to see if anyone
had insights into why making these changes hasn’t eliminated the duplicate
emails. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
