[rt-users] Best ways to create a web based ticket submission without login?

[Gene LeDuc]

Hi Thierry,

As Robert suggested, let your web app validate the data and then send RT a 
formatted e-mail.

If you need to track data using custom fields, write an On Create scrip 
that parses the e-mail (easy, because it's in your defined format) and 
fills in your custom fields.  If you don't have custom fields, you probably 
don't even need any custom scrips.  If that's all the automation you need 
and you don't want the user to be able to access the ticket using RT, it's 
very simple.

Regards,
Gene
