Email notification configuration help

Hi All,

 

I've created an automation which handles tickets going on hold and automatically sends email chasers. When a ticket is put on hold awaiting caller, the initial notification is sent to advise the user that the ticket has been placed on hold awaiting their response:

However, in addition to this notification, they are also received the standard comment added notification  which is triggered by the incident.commented event.

 

I only want them to receive the on hold notification, but I also want them to receive other comments in case the agent decides to message the user while the ticket is already on hold awaiting caller.

 

Does anyone know how I can configure this? I don't want the end user to get 2 emails when it is put on hold:

Ahoy @Cat,

 

in the email logs you can see what notification definition sent that notification.

 

For the On hold notification, I believe nothing to be done, it's all okay. But for the standard additional comment you need to adjust the condition that the state is not On hold: Awaiting caller.

 

The conditions must be aligned

 

1. On hold notification - triggered when On hold: awaiting caller

2. the other notification - triggered ALWAYS UNLESS On hold: awaiting caller

 

I don't know how to explain this 😛 I will try to use analogy with week days

1: on hold triggered on Monday

2. the other notification triggered everyday except of monday

 

Does it make sense? let me know if you want to discuss further, I need more cofffee now 😄

For your requirement , 

Either you can add advance script (under When to send) of above mentioned notifications,

or update following condition( with OR)
