Enable parameter field in recipients action rule

Hello,

We want to create some action rules to always send a ticket update message to the end users (otherwise when a tech forgets to click save and mail) it isn't being send.

The action rules are excellent to trigger this when changing status or tech ...

But when we add an action (in action rules) send e-mail and add the tag <client email> to the recipients field it doesn'"t send the mail. When we fill in a fix email adress the rule works just fine.

See screenshot.

So we're stuck but realy need to implement these features as a quality audit request it.

Now it seems this isn't yet implemented and is a feature request.

Seems very strange but here the feature request.

Regards,

  • I would agree completely.  This seems like a simple thing to fix and implement.  The tagged items can be used throughout the rest of the Action - Send Email so why not in the Recipients box.  I would further suggest that all <client_email>, <tech_email>, and potentially even a new tag <tech_group> based on the currently assigned tech that would email all members of that tech group.  We are currently migrating into Web HD from a custom built In-house SharePoint helpdesk.  It that system we can easily email just about anyone we want based on data from within the ticket or system.  We use this functionality extensively to route notifications of things either the ticket creator or assigned tech needs to do at that 'Status' (phase) the ticket is in.  Looking through the setup I just can't seem to find any other way to accomplish this without being able to have the action email the client, tech or other without putting in a specific email address.
