Update a Ticket by E-mail
- To update a ticket by e-mail you will need to reply to an original message sent by the IT Ticket System.
- First, find the original e-mail sent to you by the IT Ticket system (the sender should show as "VIU IT Services" from "it_notify@viu.ca") and click reply.
- Ensure that the original TeamDynamix code snippet at the bottom of the original e-mail is unmodified. [refer to the image below highlighted in yellow]
- If it is not included or off by one character, your ticket will not be updated with your e-mail message. That means no new ticket note will be added and you will not get an reply back notification whether it was successful or not.
- Important Note: If the code is altered or not included in your reply back message to IT the IT Ticket System will create a brand new Ticket setting you as the new requestor.
- Important Note: When you reply by e-mail to update a ticket you will NOT receive an update notification
- Refer to the image below for an example of how to correctly update a ticket by e-mail by replying to the original message:
