Support Group Notification when SR/IR unassigned
When IR/SRs are updated/created/moved and they don't have a specific Assigned To analyst, I'd like it to send a notification to a specified recipient based on the support group it is assigned to.
The best workaround I can think of is create dummy users for each support group and force the analysts to allocate calls to these dummy support group analysts.
Comments
I'm not tested but i'm pretty certain you could just create OOB Notification Subscriptions for these.
eg
When
Support Group changes from <NOT Desktop> to <Desktop>
AND
Assigned To = <blank>
THEN
email DesktopTeamManager@...
You would need one for each support group.

Name: SysAdmin Escalated Incident (Periodic)
When to notify: Periodically notify when objects meet a criteria
Targeted class: Incident
Criteria:
[Incident] Support group equals SysAdmin
AND Assigned To User [Domain User or Group] User Name is empty
AND [Incident] Status equals Active
OR [Incident] Status equals Active\Pending
Recurring pattern
Notify once
Template
I use a generic HTML template that I created and ALL notifications share the same template, since it inserts "Support Group" into the body of the email automatically. No need to create one for each.
Recipient
We use O365 so I created a new email distribution list named "SCSM-SysAdmin" and added the same members of the AD group we have that controls who is in the SysAdmin support group. Once that was created, we updated the AD record with the new email address / email domain / proxyAddress and then ran the AD connector to bring that data into SCSM.
Now whenever someone transfers a ticket to SysAdmin and it's not assigned, everyone in my group gets an email with the ticket info (which also includes the affected user name, title, description, etc)
***The downside to using the periodic notifications is if you change anything in this subscription and click OK, it will look at the criteria and re-trigger emails to the recipients. This can be a problem if there are a large number of incidents sitting in the support group unassigned to any analysts, and there are a large group of recipients.
Also we'd need the subscription to notify on card edits too, not just allocations.
