Creating a ticket rule to notify people when a ticket has been rejected

I have a group that is utilizing the Service Desk queues for communication between Accounts receivable and customer service.  The queue is working as intended but they would like an area in there where an AR clerk can reject the ticket due to wrong details etc, and it notify a list of people when that happens.  I used the wizard to create the rule and the field is custom 38 in the rule set and in the queue its Custom 39.  I cannot get it to email myself when the Rejection is = to Yes on Save.   Thanks for any help you can give.

You have the order of your statement mixed up, I'm guessing you tried to combine a couple of rules. The general syntax of a select statement is

SELECT columns
FROM tables
JOIN other tables
WHERE criteria

You have things all jumbled together. I fixed up some of the formatting and removed joins that you weren't using to generate this:

select HD_TICKET.*,
HD_STATUS.NAME AS STATUS_NAME,    
HD_STATUS.ORDINAL as STATUS_ORDINAL,
HD_IMPACT.ORDINAL as IMPACT_ORDINAL,
HD_CATEGORY.ORDINAL as CATEGORY_ORDINAL,
HD_PRIORITY.ORDINAL as PRIORITY_NUMBER,
HD_STATUS.STATE as STATUS_STATE,
if(M1.ID is null, 'z', concat('a', M1.NAME)) as sort_MACHINE_NAME,
if((datediff(DUE_DATE, now()) = 0), 2, if((datediff(DUE_DATE, now())<0), 1, 3)) as SORT_OVERDUE_STATUS,
if(unix_timestamp(TIME_OPENED) > 0, TIME_OPENED, 1<<62) as SORT_TIME_OPENED,
if(unix_timestamp(TIME_STALLED) > 0, TIME_STALLED, 1<<62) as SORT_TIME_STALLED,
if(unix_timestamp(TIME_CLOSED) > 0, TIME_CLOSED, 1<<62) as SORT_TIME_CLOSED,
if(unix_timestamp(ESCALATED) > 0, ESCALATED, 1<<62) as SORT_ESCALATED,
if(unix_timestamp(HD_TICKET.CREATED) > 0, HD_TICKET.CREATED, 1<<62) as SORT_TIME_CREATED,
if(unix_timestamp(HD_TICKET.MODIFIED) > 0, HD_TICKET.MODIFIED, 1<<62) as SORT_MODIFIED,
if(unix_timestamp(HD_TICKET.DUE_DATE) > 0, HD_TICKET.DUE_DATE, 1<<62) as SORT_DUE_DATE,
case upper(STATE)
when 'CLOSED' then unix_timestamp(HD_TICKET.TIME_CLOSED) - unix_timestamp(HD_TICKET.TIME_OPENED)
when 'OPENED' then unix_timestamp() - unix_timestamp(HD_TICKET.TIME_OPENED)
else unix_timestamp() - unix_timestamp(HD_TICKET.CREATED) end as AGE,
if ((LENGTH(U1.FULL_NAME) = 0), U1.USER_NAME, U1.FULL_NAME) as OWNER_NAME,
U1.FULL_NAME as OWNER_FULLNAME,
U1.EMAIL as OWNER_EMAIL,
if (U1.ID is null, 'z', concat('a', if ((LENGTH(U1.FULL_NAME) = 0), U1.USER_NAME, U1.FULL_NAME))) as SORT_OWNER_NAME,
if ((LENGTH(U2.FULL_NAME) = 0), U2.USER_NAME, U2.FULL_NAME) as SUBMITTER_NAME,
U2.FULL_NAME as SUBMITTER_FULLNAME,
U2.EMAIL as SUBMITTER_EMAIL,
if (U2.ID is null, 'z', concat('a', if ((LENGTH(U2.FULL_NAME) = 0), U2.USER_NAME, U2.FULL_NAME))) as SORT_SUBMITTER_NAME,
if (U3.ID is null, 'z', concat('a', if ((LENGTH(U3.FULL_NAME) = 0), U3.USER_NAME, U3.FULL_NAME))) as SORT_APPROVER_NAME,
case APPROVAL
when 'rejected' then  'Rejected' 
when 'info' then  'More Info Needed'
when 'approved' then 'Approved'
else 'Pending'
end as APPROVAL_STATUS,
Q.NAME as QUEUE_NAME,
'helpdesk@email.com' AS NEWTICKETEMAIL -- $newticketemail
from (HD_TICKET, HD_PRIORITY, HD_STATUS, HD_IMPACT, HD_CATEGORY)
LEFT JOIN USER U1 on U1.ID = HD_TICKET.OWNER_ID
LEFT JOIN USER U2 on U2.ID = HD_TICKET.SUBMITTER_ID
LEFT JOIN USER U3 on U3.ID = HD_TICKET.APPROVER_ID
LEFT JOIN HD_QUEUE Q on Q.ID = HD_TICKET.HD_QUEUE_ID
LEFT JOIN MACHINE M1 on M1.ID = HD_TICKET.MACHINE_ID
where 
HD_PRIORITY.ID = HD_PRIORITY_ID
and HD_STATUS.ID = HD_STATUS_ID
and HD_IMPACT.ID = HD_IMPACT_ID
and HD_CATEGORY.ID = HD_CATEGORY_ID
and HD_TICKET.CUSTOM_FIELD_VALUE38 = 'Yes' 
and HD_TICKET.HD_QUEUE_ID = 3 

Custom fields are 1 based in the UI and 0 based in the database, so the column name in the database is one less than the name in the UI, that's why the wizard used CUSTOM_FIELD_VALUE38.

Give that statement a try. If it fails, then post the error shown in the rule's run log.



Comments:
  • ---I have gotten this to work I needed to change $rejectionreason to $rejectreason

    So that worked great. I now need to get my email that is being sent to populate correctly. I added a field:
    HD_TICKET.CUSTOM_FIELD_VALUE41 AS REJECTREASON, -- $rejectionreason
    But it is not pulling in what is in that field. The rest seems fine. that field is Custom_42

    The ticket $title has been REJECTED.



    TICKET DETAILS

    ********************

    $rejectionreason

    Thanks for your business,

    AR Team - sklevine 4 years ago
  • Also one more favor and thank you very much. What do I need to put to send this email to the submitter as well. Thank you again you are saving me! - sklevine 4 years ago
  • Create a separate rule (you can duplicate this one) and change the column containing email address to SUBMITTER_EMAIL. - chucksteel 4 years ago
