Hi,
We are using rt-crontool to send timed notifications based on different
criteria either to owners of tickets or queue groups after a period of
inactivity in some form.
The way we do this is to use RT::Action::RecordComment
http://wiki.bestpractical.com/view/RecordComment as the action of
rt-crontool to add a comment to the ticket using a template and also
email the owner or queue group.
However I have been asked if there is any way that everything can run as
before with mails being sent to owner/queue group but without the
comment on the ticket being added. I have attempted using SendEmail or
Notify as the action for rt-crontool but it does not seem to work at
all.
Does anyone know where i am going wrong or is there a better way to do
this?
Thanks
Dave

This seems antithetical to the design of RT.
It’s meant to log all transactions.

The issue is that we are looking to make our RT installation client
facing.
Therefore we do not really want comments about slow responses or actions
being left on the ticket.
Are you confusing comments and correspondence?
You can control access to comments with ACLs,
and the public should indeed never see comments.
