default categories via email
Is there a way to specify a default category for tickets received via email that is different than the default category in the User Interface? Specifically, I would like to have tickets entered via email to go into a category called "Uncategorized", but I don't want that category visible in the drop-down menu for the categories. Is that possible?

You could accomplish this using a ticket rule. The HD_TICKET_CHANGE table includes a column (VIA_EMAIL) that indicates the email address that a ticket change came from if it was from an email. If the first change for a ticket has a value in VIA_EMAIL then that ticket was created via email. Those tickets could be set to the Uncategorized category instead of the standard default category. I don't think you would be able to create this rule using the rules wizard so you'll need a custom SQL select statement. Do you have MySQL experience?

What's your default category? I can write the rule for you but I'll need to know that for the select statement. - chucksteel 9 years ago
