[rt-users] Send AdminCc notify email from inside custom action?

[Gene LeDuc]

Hi Dan,

The only way I was able to figure out to send an e-mail as part of a 
user-defined action scrip is to have the scrip that does the user-defined 
action also set a value in another field, and have that field change 
trigger a Notify scrip.  We don't use ticket priorities here, so I use the 
priority field to control process flow (I've also done the same thing using 
a custom field).  In your case, I'd have your scrip add someone to the 
ticket's admincc group and then set a value in a CF called "Flow".  Then 
I'd create another scrip that triggers when "Flow" changes to that specific 
value; this scrip would do the notification.

I'm sure there are more elegant ways to do this, but I never found them and 
this works for us.

Regards,
Gene
