Trigger

- Customer visible?

Notes
Recipient Selection
When creating an email template for this event type, please be aware of the Recipient you select.
This could allow an outbound notification email to be send to an email address that differs from the one attached to the contact that creates/updates a service desk ticket.
For example: The Primary Contact of an account responds to a service desk ticket via the end user portal. You have configured your email template to send notifications to an account's Billing Contact. The Primary Contact will not receive email notifications if they have a different email address to the Billing Contact (this is more common with business customers than it is for individuals).
Message Template Summary
When this event is triggered, the outgoing email will automatically prepend the email subject with the text [Queue Email Prefix|Service Request ID]. This is used by the Inbound Email functionality in order to add emailed customer comments to the same ticket.
For example: [SUP|123456] New Ticket Updated
