This script is specifically for builds 10.6 and above


Usecase Organizations don't want to handle/fetch unapproved contacts mails into the application. They also want to notify the end user when they send email stating-> "The Request raised by you is rejected. Kindly send mail from the registered email."

Solution: 
You need to add the attached script in the Request Custom Function in the UI and to create a Business Rule as explained below.

1) Request Custom Function:

Admin -> Request Custom Function 



->Name the function. (In the snapshot its mentioned as Negate Request. You can name it as per convenience) 
->Add the attached script in this empty space.
->You need to enter out going mail id (that is mentioned in the Mail server settings) in the first line of the script instead of FROM MAIL ADDRESS.
-> Save it. 

2) Creating a Business Rule:
Admin -> Business Rule 
-> Name the rule
-> Select "Execute on actions as Created"
-> Follow the snapshot to fill in the other details. 
-> Action: Select the Custom Function: Fill in the name of the Request Custom Function -created 
-> Update the Business Rule. 



3) In the Self Service Portal Settings:

Admin -> Self Service Portal 
Click on the Requesters & Technicians tab as shown below.

Select on the Add Unknown User As - Unapproved Users as shown in the below snap shot. 

 

Refresh the setup and now when an unapproved contact raises a ticket, ticket will not be created and a auto reply will be sent to him stating "The Request raised by you is rejected. Kindly send mail from registered email".
