Hi everybody

I have a custom notification for contatctin a third party. I want to get the whole Email into the work_notes.

Like it is if I send an email via the quick message icon in the form header.

But there seems to be no outbound email action. So how can I acomplih this?

Thanks for your help!

OK, in my instance when I use the Quick message to send an email I do not have the email copied to either comments or work_notes.. so this must be a custom development in your environment..

One way to do it could be to create a business rule on the sys_email table that only triggers when the recipient contains your third party email address. When a match is found you could copy the body of the sys_email to the target.work_notes of the incident/request.

How are you with writing business rules?

The only thing with this solution is it could add unnecessary processing to your sys_email table!

An alternative solution could be to add a mail script to the notification.. the mail script can then copy the message to the tasks work_notes.

I would write something up in a demo instance but I am pretty poor on time at the moment. Let me know if you want me to help write this and I will try and find some time, otherwise someone else may be able to knock this up for you quickly!
