Send email notification to requester when a note is added to a request
How it works?
A report will be scheduled to run at a periodic interval which will fetch he details of the request. Once the schedules runs, the script will fetch the values from the report and sends an notification through email to the requester of the request where the note is added.
What is Custom Schedule?
Custom Schedules are actions scheduled on a specific date and time with or without repeat frequency. The actions are specified in a customized script file. Any data from ServiceDesk Plus can be sent to the script through Query Reports.
Create a new custom schedule with a unique Schedule Name. Mention the command to execute the script in the Executor field. Associate the required Query Reports as Arguments. Mention the Start Date & Time at when the action should take place. Schedule the action by specifying the Repeat interval. Enable/Disable a custom schedule as preferred.
