Hi,

I noticed this Notification in the "Agent Notification" screen of the
admin. Can someone help in using this?
The end goal is that I (OTRS manager/admin) should receive an e-mail
notification for any ticket escalation due to non action/updation by the
agents.

Thanks,
AJ

If I have read correctly, the escalation process only sends notification
to the agents that would receive updates on the ticket.

You can look at the list archive for details.

Hi Ugo,

Thank you for your reply. I've not been able to get the notifications for
even the agents (I'm both owner and responsible for a few tickets which
show as escalated) associated with a ticket.

Could you point me to the thread in the archives? I've searched (both on
Google and specifically through the archives) but was unable to locate the
correct thread.

Thanks,
AJ

Hi Anant,

A. simplest escalation notification:

Edit Kernel/Config/GenericAgent.pm

B. complex escalation notification:

1. create a new generic agent searching for escalated tickets and define some kind of marker for the found tickets
2. send event based notifications to defined recipients based on setting the marker

C. Buy a feature add-on for very granular escalation notifications

Hi Niels,

Just so that I'm sure, the built in escalation notification cannot be used?
This seems like a ... workaround?

These mechanisms ARE the built-in functions. Especially #A is built-in since many versions.

Additional features can be added by Feature AddOns :-)

You mean to simply uncomment the commented section regarding escalation
notification?
