KACE SMA - Send email to all owners in a queue when a ticket is sitting unassigned
Anyone have a rule to setup on a scheduled basis to all email addresses within the owners label(s) of a queue? I found one that does on ticket save but cant seem to make it work when I try to schedule it. I hobbled one rule which sends out alerts on urgent tickets unassigned to a DL email but I dont want to create a DL for each of our queues and maintain them all.
So ideally, it would run every 2 hrs, look for unassigned tickets in a queue and then email all members of the labels assigned as owners for that queue.
Would appreciate any assistance...

Here is a rule I have setup to email anyone that is labeled - "HelpDesk - Ticket Owners". Mine is also set up as On Save, but it should work on an interval as well. One thing you should check is that your Where condition is still TRUE when the timer runs. For example, on my rule I have it setup so the status has to be "New" and I have the rule setup as one of my last to fire. The issue with your rule not firing could be a status or something in the Where condition is not true because another rule or something changed a condition.

If you check out the HD_TICKET table you will see HD_TICKET.HD_OWNER_ID which is where the owner I’d is stored. Admin ID is always 10, but if the ticket is unassigned this column will not contain a number. You could build a rule using the WHERE statement is if Owner_id <> 0 or 10 and that will also work in triggering an email. To make life easier store email addresses as default values in hidden custom fields, so you can easily load them as a variable in the ticket rule for the target email.
