How to stop requests from a domain and send notification to the user for a specific account
Use Case
When a particular account can only raise requests using Self Service Portal and not via email, the script will allow you to send a notification that the request is not raised and to create a request using Self Service Portal.
Pre-requisite
Steps
We can create 2 rules
1. Send Notification that the request has been negated
2. Negate the incoming email from the domain
First, we can create a rule to send the E-Mail to the requester using a python script.
1. Create the below Business Rules in the respective Account & Site
Script name py send_mail.py $COMPLETE_V3_JSON_FILE
For the script to execute, the python environment should be set up in the SDP-MSP Server. Please follow the instructions here to set it up.
Download the attachment and extract the file and place it under ManageEngine\ServiceDeskPlus-MSP\integration\custom_scripts
In the server, under ManageEngine\ServiceDeskPlus-MSP\integration\custom_scripts you will have to paste the below file and perform modifications.
1. configuration.json - Configure the Outgoing Mail Server Details
2. functions.py - No edit required
3. send_mail.py - Configure the email template.
The above steps will ensure that notifications are sent to the requester.
2. In order to negate the incoming email, configure the below Business Rule
Make sure to set the Execute during request to Create Operation only. When a request is created in using the web form, responses will be appended to the request.
