  1. We would like to be able to send an email to a small group of external email addresses as part of an incident BPM  (or possibly an Autotask).   The group will vary depending  on the site chosen.

    I’m struggling a bit to figure out how to do it.  I don’t want to use decision nodes in the workflow as it will become a nightmare to administer.   The group addresses could be stored in the notes field for each site, but I don’t know if/how I can then use this with the email.

  2. Hi @Victor

    I don't think explained myself very clearly, sorry.

    @LouiseT @NickH  The email sent from an auto task and/or an associated workflow does not create a timeline entry on a request with the content of the email. They do create a timeline entry with the content specified in the node configuration (can be a manual timeline update or a system timeline update). It is simply a timeline record that an email has been sent.

    I'm aware of this, and it's how I expect it to work.   The situation we're struggling with is the following:

    I raise a request and send an email via an auto task to a colleague or third party

    Colleague/third party receives that email in Outlook and sends a reply.

     

    Should this reply (from colleague to Hornbill, with request ID in the title) then update the timeline of the request?   

     

    Thanks

    It would not be. The only way an email is automatically applied to a request is to have it processed by routing rules (the autoresponder) based on certain criteria (such as request reference in email subject). And this would only apply to incoming emails. Replying to an email in Hornbill would be an outgoing email so it does not apply.

     

    @Victor

     

    I think @NickH is talking about when someone replies to an email they've been sent via Hornbill (using either the email functionality in a request, or a template created via autotask).   As I understand it, this should update the request timeline?   As far as I can tell that's not happening.  

     

    Hope that makes sense!

  4. Hi

    As far as I'm aware it's not currently possible to map asset information (serial number, name, type etc) into an email template.     I'd like to be able to send an email during the life cycle of a  request and have these automatically populated.

    Is there any way I can work around this using custom fields?

    And is there any way this functionality could be added?

    Thanks
