Hello-
Is there anyway to resolve a ticket without sending the requesters a
confirmation email. It works fine if the user responds with a further
issue on the ticket and the ticket is opened, but our nicer users might
reply to the resolved email with ‘Thanks!’ which reopens the ticket. We
try to resolve it again, and again ‘Thanks!’. Is there a way you can
suppress this email and still resolve the ticket?
Thanks,
Davin Flatten

Disable the scrip.
As superuser:
Configuration → Global → Scrips → “On Resolve Notify Requestors with template Resolved”
And set “Stage:” to “Disabled”.
(At least, thats what I did…)
Mr. Rogers could explain shoe-tying and make it seem like the coolest
thing in the world. He was our Uncle and older brother. He told us we
were special, and we knew he’d be there for us.
A cult leader, right down to the sneakers.

Just edit the template and put in a line which says “No reply is
necessary for this email!”
Disabling the notification isn’t a great idea in my mind, because it
gives the user a notifcation that YOU think the work is done. If it’s
done, they can ignore the email. Otherwise they can reply with more
details and re-open the ticket nicely.
It’s more of a user education issue.

One way I combat this is by going into the Basics section and setting the
status to resolved. This doesn’t generate any mail out.
Thanks,

We addressed the “nice user” problem here by modifying the ticket-resolved
template so that it has its reply-to address set to the address of the
ticket owner, rather than the RT email gateway address…

It depends on the configuration of your RT.
PS: Guys, cool discussion, I hope it’s not too hard to put summary of
the discussed variants to the wiki :)On 12/2/05, Mahoney, Tim Tim.Mahoney@magicorp.com wrote:

Best regards, Ruslan.
Thank you for the link. This looks like the fix I was hoping for.
Thank you everyone for your suggestions.
Sincerely,
Davin Flatten
We solved it this way:
– Create a custom field called “Send Resolve Notice”, and populate it
at create time with the word “Yes”.-- On Resolve, if the “Send Resolve Notice” field contains “Yes”, send a “resolved” message then set the field to “No”. Subsequent Resolve events do not generate e-mail, since the custom field is no longer set to “Yes”. But it can be manually reset if required. Rick R. Davin Flatten wrote:

That’s neat - good tip!
Could you possibly put the details into the Wiki? Not necessary of
course, but your solution is novel and others would benefit from it.
