[rt-users] Automatic CC owner on take

[James McTavish]

We currently use RT for our sales and technical support queries.  Our  
sales department really doesn't like having to go through the browser  
to do their correspondence, they would prefer just using email.  So  
I've cooked up a quick an dirty method that *should* work, if only I  
could figure it out.

What I would like to happen is that when someone takes a ticket, it  
adds them to the CC list and emails them the initial message.  This  
way all they have to use their browser for is take the ticket.  I've  
been going through the mailing list, and the wiki, cobbling together  
something that I thought should work, but alas, it only partially  
works.  I'm hoping that someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong, and  
at least give me a direction to go.  For all I know, I'm  
overcomplicating things, and there is a MUCH simpler means to  
accomplish this.

My scrip so far is:

Condition: User Defined:

my $trans = $self->TransactionObj;
return 0 unless $trans->Field eq 'Owner';
return 1 if $trans->OldValue == RT::Nobody(  )->id(  );
return 0;

Action: User Defined:

Custom action preparation code:
my $new_id = $self->TransactionObj->NewValue;
my $new_user = RT::User->new();
$new_user->Load($new_id);
my $new_email = $new_user->EmailAddress();
$self->TicketObj->AddWatcher( Type => "Cc",
                              Email => $new_email);
return 1;

Custom action cleanup code:
return 1;

Template:

To: {$Ticket->OwnerObj->EmailAddress }

{$Ticket->Transactions->First->Content()}

As I've said, this only partially works.  The new owner does in fact  
get added as a CC, however no email is sent.  I check the logs and a  
few things jump out:

The scip itself generates this warning:
