Search Words for Custom Field Variable in Email

I have the feeling I’m searching using the wrong word(s). Please give me the ‘buzz’ words to search this list for ‘how to write the code(?) in an email that will be replaced by the contents of a Custom Field’. I have a custom field ‘Full Name’ in my tickets. I wish the contents of that field to be placed after ‘Dear’ in email correspondence (while I’m in the ticket) so instead of Dear Subscriber (generic as heck) it will be Dear Wayne Glumpy. ‘mail merge’? ‘customfield variable’?

Verne,

I always just do a “Reply” and make sure the only TO: address is RT.

Kenneth, That worked! On the doco’s I found it showed
FirstCustomFieldValue(n) which I incorrectly took to signify a Number. I
know that the Scrips are numbered so thought there was some ‘hidden’ number
for each CustomField. Thank you. Uh, will this be sent to the group or
should I have did a Reply to All? I don’t use lists very often (that will
change!). Verne

Verne,

You should try creating a template for that. Below is an example:

To: {$Ticket->FirstCustomFieldValue(‘QA Approver’)}@your suffix
Subject: Request Titled: “{$Ticket->Subject}” is ready to begin QA Testing!


TICKET INFORMATION:
Queue : {$Ticket->QueueObj->Name}
Number : {$Ticket->Id}
Subject: {$Ticket->Subject}

In this template, I’m overriding the “To:” but I am getting the info from a
Custom Field and then adding my suffix.
You’ll need to make changes to fit your situation. something like:

Dear {$Ticket->FirstCustomFieldValue(‘Full Name’)},

Bla bla bla.

Make sure there is one blank line between your “Subject” line and your
body.

Hope this helps.

Hi.

In a template use the following:

{ $Ticket->FirstCustomFieldValue(‘cf name’); }

Look at snippets for templates on the wiki.
