[rt-users] Scrip/template "Notify parent ticket owner on resolve"?

[Kenneth Crocker]

Jeff,

OK. Here's what you do:

Create a Template called "Notify Parents on Resolve".

The Template should have code similar to this (loop thru all parents and
add the Emailaddress of the ticket owner to the "To:" line in the Template)
at the top (test the code to correct my mistakes):

To: {my $parent = $Ticket->MemberOf;);
      my $OUTPUT;
      while ( my $value = $parent->Next )
        {
         $OUTPUT .= $value->OwnerObj->EmailAddress;
         $OUTPUT .= "<---\n";
        }
     $OUTPUT;
     }
Subject: This Child Ticket has been Resolved

Then create a scrip titled "Notify Parents of Resolved Child".

The code should be like this:

# Condition:   User Defined
# Action:      Notify Others ("To:" address built by template code in
template below)
# Template:    Global template: Notify Parents of Resolved Child
# Stage:       TransactionBatch

#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Custom condition:
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Set initial values

my $trans = $self->TransactionObj;
my $ticket = $self->TicketObj;
my $MemberOf = $ticket->MemberOf;

#
# Check for value change on Ticket Status
#

return ($self->TransactionObj->Type eq "Status" &&
          $self->TransactionObj->NewValue eq "resolved" &&
          $MemberOf);


#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Custom action preparation code: None
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------


#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Custom action clean-up code: None
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, I just whipped this up and you should verify all the code. The
thing is you want to set a condition that tests that the ticket is being
resolved and it is a child. The template should have code that replaces the
"To:" address with the email address of the owner for any parent above and
that way all parents, grandparents, etc get an email saying that a child
ticket has been resolved. My code may be off but the mechanics should be
correct.

Hope this helps.
