Does anyone know how I stop email notifications being sent if the comment is from a certain user account?
We've integrated our ServiceNow instance with PagerDuty. Whenever PagerDuty adds a comment (normally relating to a thing that's happened because of the integration) and email is sent out.
These are standard notations (comments added etc) and I want to go out most of the time.
I'd like to add a filter that says if the comment is from PagerDuty then don't send it. But I can't seem to find a way to do that.
Has anyone got any idea how I could do that? There's no "Comment from" type field to add as a condition.
Thanks!

Hi,
In your notification(s) you'd use the condition with something like:
Comments changes
AND
Updated by is pagerduty
Please consider marking my reply as Helpful and/or Accept Solution, if applicable. Thanks!

Ha! Brain Fart. Of course.. update by. I was looking for "Comment From" type field. Although a later commenter on this thread indicates there is one, I can't see it. I'll give Updated By a go. Thanks!

That option is what I was looking for but doesn't seem to exist in my dropdown.
