[rt-users] take and resolve actions via email

[Mark Fuller]

Ok I am very new to this so I added


 $Ticket->_Set(Field => 'noemail', Value => 'yes', RecordTransaction => 0);

Now how do I tell the correspondence to look for that. And also if I change
the main script like that and I have the custom field set how do I get the
filed to be blank or no so that all future correspondence will work. 

Again I am new to RT but we love it and are expanding it's use. I thought
about command by email but the CTO is concerned as am I with security and
this seems the safer way. Also we do want to comment via email

Hi Mark,

I'm not sure how you could change a correspondence transaction to a 
comment.  However...

If I wanted to just change the way that email is sent (only AdminCcs 
getting an email), I'd add a custom field to the queue called 
"NoCorrespond" and then modify the Correspondence template used for the "On 
Correspond" scrip to include a check at the beginning to see if there is a 
"NoCorrespond" field and whether it has anything in it.  If so, exit the 
template and don't send the email, otherwise proceed as usual.  Then I'd 
have the scrip I gave you put something into the "NoCorrespond" custom 
field at the same time that it sets the owner and status.  It's kind of 
clunky and there are probably more elegant solutions, but I think it would 
work.  You might also want to make another scrip to send the mail to the 
AdminCc when the "NoCorrespond" field gets something assigned to it (by 
your other scrip), something like (I haven't tried this scrip, so it may 
need work):

Condition: User Defined
Action: Notify AdminCcs as Comment
Template: Global template: Admin Comment
Custom condtion:
{ ### True on state change to "NoCorrespond"
   my $Transaction = $self->TransactionObj;
   my $val = $Transaction->Type eq "CustomField"
       && $Transaction->Field eq "NoCorrespond"
       ;
   return $val;
}

Good luck!
Gene
