Automatically CC someone when a specific request type is selected

Hi,

Is there a way to automatically add someone as CC in the submit a request form? So, whenever a user submits a ticket for a specific request type, the CC field should automatically add someone's email address by default. Can this be implemented through Javascript? Please help.

Hi Johnny,
 
While this would be possible to do with Javascript, you should be able to achieve the same result in a cleaner way using triggers. Here's a link with more information about triggers and how they work:

I hope this helps! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

Hi Tipene,

Thanks for your response. Yes, I initially tried using triggers, but there's no option to "Add CC" and it only allows us to set "Email user" as an action. We want to automatically add a couple of end-users to the ticket when a specific request type is selected. How can this be achieved using triggers?

Thanks,

Hey Johnny,
 
End users can't be added as a CC to tickets via triggers, unfortunately. Here's a post that gives some alternatives using shared organizations or webhooks.

Let me know if this helps!

Thanks Tipene, I've tried that but it is not working for me. I have raised a separate ticket for the Support team to review. Can you please help in achieving this with Javascript/custom coding instead?
