  • 1.  CA SDM: attach a file to the email notification

    Posted Apr 04, 2016 07:38 AM

    Hi team,

     

    Is it possible to create a new template notification in order to send attached to the email notification all or some of the incident attachments?

     

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Sanaa,

    Not sure what version of Service Desk Manager you are currently running, however, in 14.1.02, recently the functionality to send out going notifications with attachments was added to the product.  I dont believe that you can send an attachment that is on a ticket, but you can do a manual notify and attach a file manually. 

    Hope this helps,

    Jon I.

    Thank you John for your response.

    I'm using the 12.9 version. So it's not possible to send attachments that are linked to the ticket like email attachments using the automatic notifications, right?

    Hi Sanaa,  yes that is correct.  That functionality is not available in 12.9, and is also that exact functionality is not available in 14.1.  In 14.1 you can only add an attachment to a manual notification, but not automate the attaching of ticket attachments to an automatic notification.

    Thanks,

    Jon I.

    Thanks a lot John.

    If it's not possible to attach them to the email notification sent, would it be possible to sent the links to those attachments in the email notification body?

    Sanaa, with current versions, I don't think you can do that. Thanks _Chi

    Hi Sanaa,

    Unfortunately it would not be possible to put links to attachments directly into a notification template as there is no attribute/variable that can be used.  There is really no connection at all between automatic outgoing notifications and attachments - triggers for such functionality doesnt exist unfortunately.  You can post an "idea" here on the communities where folks can vote for it, and product management will review it for possible inclusion in future versions of the product.

    Thanks,
