Dear Jesse,
The setup only uses a single script and template. The setup works out of the
box as described in "RT Essentials". In the v3.6.3, the email to the
director won't fire off until the manager approves his ticket. This was
achieved using the "Depends-On" directive in the director's template. In
3.6.7, both manager and director will get the emails as soon as the
approval tickets are created. The director won't be able to resolve
his ticket though if the manager hasn't approve his. Any idea?
