Approver Rule K1000

I am trying to set up a rule that will send an email to the user that needs to approve the request.  I have part of it complete but I would like to include the actual request in the approval email. 

This is what I have so far.

select HD_TICKET.*,

                        HD_STATUS.ORDINAL as STATUS_ORDINAL,

  • So, what are you trying to add that isn't working? I'm not sure that the mailto tag will work that way and it will also depend on the email client that the user is using to read their email if it is rendered properly. - chucksteel 6 years ago
    • I would like the summary of the ticket to go to the Approver in the email when we change the approver. The email portion works as I have tested that part already. I just can't figure out how to get the summary in the email yet. - abratton 6 years ago
      • The summary should be available as $summary. - chucksteel 6 years ago

You'll need to add this somewhere in your SELECT clause:
HD_TICKET.SUMMARY AS SUMMARY,
Then the summary field is available via the variable $summary

Comments:
  • FYI, the wizard always includes HD_TICKET.* in the select clause, so there is no need to select the SUMMARY column on its own. The $summary variable should already be available. - chucksteel 6 years ago
    • Haha I didn't notice the first line! Also I was unaware that the wizard always includes it. Thanks Chuck! - JasonEgg 6 years ago
