Limite who wil receive notification

Paulo Machado

Hi everyone,
Based on a new incident record, both the Caller and the Opened by users should receive a notification. However, if either of them belongs to the Help Desk group, that user should not receive the notification.

Example:
If the Caller is part of the Help Desk group and Opened by is not, only the Opened by user should receive the notification — and vice versa.

How can we implement this logic?

Thanks in advance!

Hello @Paulo Machado 

Below are the steps:

1. Create a system property for Help Desk Group sys_id (Table: sys_properties.LIST) --> Best practice to not hard code sys_id and have roles associated with the sys property

2. Create an Event (Table: sysevent_register)

3. Create email notification (Table: sysevent_email_action)

4. Create an insert Business Rule on Incident Table:

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {
   var helpDeskGroupId = gs.getProperty('helpdesk.group.sysid'); 


   function validateUserHelpDeskMembership(userId) {
       var grUsr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');
       grUsr.addQuery('user', userId);
       grUsr.addQuery('group', helpDeskGroupId);
       grUsr.query();
       return grUsr.hasNext();
   }
   
   if (!current.caller_id || !current.opened_by) {
       return;
   }
   
   var callerValidation = validateUserHelpDeskMembership(current.caller_id);
   var openedByValidation = validateUserHelpDeskMembership(current.opened_by);
   
   if (callerValidation && openedByValidation) {
       gs.log('VJ1: Email will be sent to Opened By: ' + current.opened_by.email);
       gs.eventQueue('incident.custom_notify', current, current.opened_by.email, '');
   }
})(current, previous);

It's not working — the email was only sent to the caller, and the 'opened_by' didn't receive anything. Also, 'opened_by' is not a member of the Help Desk group.
