Reminders can be attached to a particular ticket (and are really tickets themselves).
Each Reminder has:
- Subject
- Owner
- Due date
- Status (new, open, resolved, ...)
When given an Owner and a Due date, the Reminder will appear on that person's "At-a-glance" page by default.
You can setup RT to send notification emails about reminders due soon using rt-crontool. Add a line like the one below to your RT crontab:
0 6 * * * root /opt/rt4/bin/rt-crontool \
--search RT::Search::FromSQL \
--search-arg 'Type = "reminder" and (Status = "open" or Status = "new")' \
--condition RT::Condition::BeforeDue \
--condition-arg 2d \
--action RT::Action::SendEmail \
--action-arg Owner \
--transaction first \
--template 'Reminder due soon'
And create a Template (Tools → Configuration → Global → Templates → Create) named "Reminder due soon" with the following Content:
To: { $Target = $Ticket->RefersTo->First->TargetObj; ($Argument eq 'TicketOwner' ? $Target : $Ticket)->OwnerObj->EmailAddress }
Subject: {$Ticket->Subject} is due {$Ticket->DueObj->AsString}
Just a friendly heads up. This reminder is for ticket #{$Target->Id}.
{RT->Config->Get('WebURL')}Ticket/Display.html?id={$Target->Id}
This will send a notification email to the Owner of the reminder 2 days before it is due.
