Hi Stephen,
How do I get the user-defined action to result in an e-mail so that
the template is used? The reason I used "launch" in my original
post (when referring to my templates) is that I've had to embed a
bunch of code that modifies the ticket into my templates in order to
get both an e-mail and changes to the ticket in a single step. So
they are really programs (in an e-mail wrapper) that get launched
when the condition is true. I'd prefer to put the code in the scrip
and let the template just handle formatting the mail, but I don't
know how to get the custom action to generate an e-mail using the
template. Is there a command like "RT::SendEmailUsingScripTemplate"?
What I've done is probably confusing, but it's like this:
1. Mail comes in to queue 1. A scrip extracts some data and
populates some custom fields, sets the priority, and moves the
ticket to queue 2.
2. Ticket enters queue 2. Scrip fires and uses Notify Others action
to "launch" a template.
3. Template modifies some fields in the ticket and creates e-mail to
action address.
4. Action address does their job and replies to mail with
"ok". Scrip in queue 2 triggers, modifies some fields in the
ticket, moves ticket back to queue 1.
5. Lather, rinse, repeat a couple more times.
What I want to do is take the code that modifies the ticket out of
the template at step 3 and put it into the scrip at step 2, but I
don't know how to get the scrip to use the template after making the
changes to the ticket. I thought that putting the code in the prep
code and returning a "1" would do it, but nothing happens with the template.
Gene,
Maybe it's because it's Monday morning, but I wasn't thinking clearly
when I wrote earlier - I apologize. I don't actually know how to make
a custom action generate an email message that will use the scrip
template. As Torsten said I think there's something on the wiki, but
I couldn't find it.
You could put your code into a custom condition instead of a custom action.
Or you could create a new action in the lib/Actions directory and
insert into the ScripActions table to make this available as a scrip
action in the UI. There's an example of this on the wiki:

haven't used this particular piece of code.
