Follow button - How to trigger Email notifications

Hi guys,

I'm trying to understand the reason why I didn't get an Email Notification when a user click on Follow button in the header of the Incident record, I'm aware of a popup has been raised in the Toogle Connect Sidebar, however with all connect settings enabled for Email, I would expect that the system will trigger an Email notification to the user who is following the Incident whenever someone add a Work Note / Additional Comment.

Actual behavior: ITIL User is not getting any email notification.

Expected behavior: ITIL User should get an email notification for any Work Note / Additional Comment added.

Could someone help me to find out if I'm missing something here?

Thanks a lot

Hi guys,

I've found the problem, basically in the Live Group Member table (live_group_member), any time an ITIL user press the Follow button in the Incident header form, the system will create automatically a record in this table, however the Notification flag is NOT checked, this was the problem.

In order to fix it, I've created two Business Rules in that table in order to force the Notification to true/false in case the user Follow or Unfollow the record.

In this way, the ITIL user get an Email notification whenever a Work note or an Additional comments has been created in the Incident record, this is exactly the expected behavior.

Cheers

Hi,

 

I tested this quickly. So here it will not send any email notification for you.

This will only give you push notifications and a desktop notification as you see that now.

But when the person who is working on this ticket adds a comment using connect chat i got the notification using our OOB notification i.e Incident commentd for ESS

Hi Alberto,

Can I ask how you wrote your business rules?  We are not receiving notifications when we follow Incidents either so I assume it's the same issue.

@Alberto Consonn @Laura12 @Ashutosh Munot1 @Omkar Mone ,

 

 

Can you provide me Business rules which you adjusted in this table ? Or is there any other solution for this you have found ? could you please share.
