SOLVED: Trigger new process via E-Mail

Post by felixj »

Hi,
I want to start a new process via an incoming e-mail:
My idea is, that a user, instead of logging first in to OTRS and creating a new process-ticket, simply sends an e-mail with all required info in the subject, and OTRS extracts the necessary dialog-fields-content from that subject-line and creates the process-ticket with them.
This would be a great way to simplify things for the user, as in the further steps of that process, the user is again informed via e-mail, that his desiring, for which that process is intended to, has been performed/granted etc...

Is that possible?
regards,
Félix

Yes.

- Identify the process by subject or body in a postmaster filter.
- Add in the ProcesssManagementProcessID and ProcessManagementActivityID in the Postmaster Settings

* Additionally save and write any other dynamic fields needed using regex matching groups.

A look in the forums help a bit ;)
