  • 1.  Integrate responses to emails as a note to an incident

    Posted Mon July 15, 2019 04:53 AM
    Hello team,

    I am currently implementing a workflow that consists in resilient sending tasks by mail to users that would then send back responses by email to be integrated as a note as part of the incident life cycle.

    I use the outbound-email package to send tasks, and this works fine for me so far. For the responses I used to use IRHUB service, but now, with the new parsing script, I wonder if it's still doable. Any insight on this would be very helpful.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hello,
      The IRHUB and associated scripts will not stop working.
      What mechanism are you currently using to add the note to the task?

    Hi, this is quite doable. I have this working in our environment.

    The way we do it is as follows...
    1.  Append to start of subject line for all emails sent from Resilient:
                      '[Resilient Incident ID# ' + str(incident.id) + '] ' + str(rest_of_subject_here)

    2.  Create an email parser script for emails that come in containing '[Resilient Incident ID#' (indicating a reply) and adds the body and email info into a note, re-opening the incident if needed.

    3.  Create a rule that looks for emails containing '[Resilient Incident ID#' in the subject line.

    You can see our full email parser script for this here on GitHub.

    Hello,

    I stopped using irhub since I use an internal script for the incident creation.
    @Jared,  your script helped​ a lot. I adapted it to my environment and so far it is doing quite what I want it to do. Thanks.
