Automating notifications to the ticket owner ensures that the responsible technician is always aware of significant events related to their tickets. This facilitates timely follow-ups, improves accountability, and helps streamline ticket management processes.
How it works
Input data
The action receives a list of tickets, messages to be sent (typically from previous actions), and configuration for the notification channel, CSV attachment, and feedback request.Owner identification
The system uses the TicketOwnerProvider to determine the assigned owner of each ticket. This provider fetches the owner’s details from your PSA. For Microsoft Teams notifications, it attempts to map the PSA user to a Neo Agent user. For email, it uses the owner’s email address from the PSA.Message assembly
Messages are prepared for sending. If the workflow is triggered by a single ticket, the owner receives a notification pertinent to that ticket. The ticket ID, title, and company are automatically prepended to the notification header for context.Notification dispatch
Based on the selected notification channel:- Microsoft Teams: Sends messages to the ticket owner. For this to work, the owner must have the Neo Agent Teams App installed and have interacted with it.
- Email: Sends emails to the ticket owner’s email address. If a data table is provided, it will be converted to a CSV file and included as an attachment.
Feedback request (optional)
If enabled, a standardized feedback request link is appended to the messages, allowing the ticket owner to provide feedback on the workflow or the information received.Setup
Tickets to process: The action works with tickets from your workflow that have assigned owners. Message content: Takes messages from previous actions to send to the ticket owner. Data attachments (optional): Include data tables as CSV attachments (primarily used with email notifications). Notification method: Choose between Teams messages (default) or email notifications. Feedback requests (optional): Include a feedback link in notifications for process improvement.What you get
After running, you’ll see a summary of notification attempts including which owners were successfully notified and any failed attempts. The action doesn’t consume any credits.Use cases
