[rt-users] Notify via SMS if ticket Subject =~ /urgent/i

[EJ Marmonti]

Kevin:

Unfortunately following your suggestion didn't help.

The reason I check for a status change = new (rather than Condition=On
Create) is because the latter will send me an SMS everytime any ticket is
opened, regardless of the subject contents (as I would expect it to do
given that it says to "*Use these fields when you choose 'User Defined' for
a condition or action").

*So what I'm not sure of is if I have a fundamental misunderstanding of how
this is supposed to work, or perhaps something with the way I'm trying to
search for the word 'urgent' in the subject is not correct - ie: where
should that bit of code go if Condition=On Create?

For what I'm trying to accomplish, might it be better to create a custom
Condition?
ie:

rt-setup-database --action insert --datafile
/usr/local/rt/lib/RT/Condition/Foo.pm?

In that case, should it in theory show up as an available action from the
drop-down of available actions?


Thanks

If you have an Action of User Defined, your Template isn't going to be
used unless you're loading it up and sending mail manually.

It sounds to me like you actually wanted
Condition: User Defined
Action: Notify Other Recipieints or Notify Ccs or a custom notify
action created with
http://bestpractical.com/docs/rt/latest/rt-email-group-admin.html

You can combine your Custom action prep code and Custom action cleanup
code into that condition, although I am a little confused.  You
apparently only want to check the subject if the status of the ticket
changes (rather than say when the ticket is created?) but that may be
what you wanted.
