Configure Alerts and Notices
- Alert emails can be sent to users and staff after various events occur. Example events include when a new ticket is created, when a ticket is overdue, and when a new internal note is added.
- Service Desk uses a system of ‘template sets’ to house the content of these alerts. Click ‘Admin Panel’ > ‘Emails’ > ‘Templates’ to manage existing templates.
- Each set includes templates for a wide variety of alerts. Simply click the template name to edit its contents.
- Templates can include dynamic variables like 'ticket number' and 'assigned staff'. Click the ‘Supported variables’ link at the top-right of the editor to view the variables you can use.
- See Email Templates for more details.
Note: Any setting/change you make in this interface will be added to ITarian audit logs. You can view audit logs in the ITarian portal ('Management' > 'Audit Logs'). |
