Creating Remedy form entries from unformatted incoming customer email

2010-05-10 Thread Martin, Dwayne
Dear List,

We are a university HelpDesk to which people submit problems via emails.  Our 
staff has to copy and paste this info into a Remedy HelpDesk form.  It would be 
nice if some  product could automatically read the email and create a Remedy 
form entry in which the email subject became the call summary, the customer 
email is collected and store, and the email body becomes the Problem.

There are probably lots of products out there.  Any that are especially good?

Shoot, Dwayne, that's a piece of cake to build in Remedy.  Just create an
incoming template, have workflow ensure that the necessary data (mostly user
data) is there, and then push it to the Interface_Create form.  You may want
to create a default set of Categorizations to dump those in so that the
staff knows they need to be triaged, but that's about it.

Thanks Rick!

Yes we've worked with having customers fill out a web-page template, but right 
now they are just sending emails like My computer don't work right ever since 
I dropped it down the stairs.  Any way of pulling that into a Remedy form?

Yeah, just dummy up the required field info that the email won't contain,
use a Push Fields Filter to map the Description field to the Subject, and
the body of the email to the Notes field, use the email address to get the
user info, and you're good to go.

Re: Creating Remedy form entries from unformatted incoming customer email

2010-05-10 Thread Lyle Taylor
I put together some forms and workflow that accomplishes this.  In essence, it 
works like this:


· A few new forms were created to process incoming e-mails:

o   A form to store a copy of e-mails received by Remedy

o   A set of forms to store e-mail ticket creation configurations and 
associated e-mail addresses

§  An e-mail ticket creation configuration contains info such as

· The e-mail address associated with that configuration

· The type of ticket to create (in theory, it could create Problems, 
Changes, etc. - it's currently only completely implemented for Incidents)

· Whether to look up the sender's profile in Remedy (they will become 
the customer on the ticket)

· An Incident template to use when creating the ticket (for assignment, 
product and severity information, primarily)

· Remedy is configured to listen to multiple mailboxes.

· New incoming e-mails are copied from the Email Messages Inbox form to 
another staging form that processes the e-mails for ticket creation.

· There is an escalation that runs periodically that processes the new 
e-mails.

o   For each new e-mail, it checks to see if the e-mail address that the e-mail 
was sent to matches an existing e-mail ticket creation configuration

o   If it matches, it processes the e-mail

§  It looks up the Remedy profile for the person the e-mail came from (for this 
to work, the e-mail address they send from needs to match the e-mail they have 
in Remedy)

§  If it can't find a matching Remedy profile, a default generic profile is used

§  Once the basic information has been looked up, it pushes the contents of the 
e-mail to the HPD:IncidentInterface_Create form, mapping the e-mail subject to 
the Summary field and the e-mail body to the detailed description field.  It 
also includes the basic information required when submitting a ticket to the 
form such as first and last name, etc.  It also include the template ID (a 
GUID, not the request ID) of the template to use

I had to add a bit of workflow to the OOB workflow that processes incoming 
tickets in the incident interface form to handle a few specific scenarios and 
lookup some extra information (e.g., looking up the contact based on Person ID 
rather that first and last name), but it's actually not too complicated.  It 
works quite well for the most part (so far, I have issues when non-English 
e-mails come in due to limitations in Remedy's design around Unicode), but that 
can be worked around.

While not perfect, it works quite well for us and has been getting more and 
more use.  The way it's set up, it can listen to multiple e-mail addresses and 
will create and route the ticket appropriately according to the configuration 
settings for that e-mail address.  That allows us to have an e-mail address 
that creates generic tickets for the service desk as well as having other 
e-mails addresses for specific purposes that route tickets to specific support 
groups with the correct product, severity, etc., for that type of ticket.

Re: Creating Remedy form entries from unformatted incoming customer email

2010-05-10 Thread strauss
Back when we had Rem-Mail running (5.x - which was actually designed to do 
everything you want to do - and reliably - something the AREmail engine stopped 
doing after it was re-written in java), the Help Desk here had the same issue 
that you have.  We set up a template in Rem-Mail with associated filters that 
acted on a message _forwarded_ from the Help Desk mail account, and created a 
ticket that was hard-coded to assign to them and parsed the  way they wanted it 
to be.  It differed from the normal processing of inbound mail by the standard 
Rem-Mail templates...some of which were fed from ARSPerl forms at that time 
(Help Desk 4.0 and 5.5).

You may want to do the same thing if you set up custom forms/filters to process 
incoming mail - one path for new submissions, one for replies, and one 
specifically for Helpdesk forwarded mail.  The only thing that I currently 
process here is replies, which create a Worklog entry for the ticket listed in 
the originating notification.

Some of this can be influenced by your business practices.  Our helpdesk help 
pages, which are now mostly KB articles in Remedy Knowledge Management, no 
longer include the helpdesk email address; they include the link to the Kinetic 
Request Service Catalog instead.  Most of the helpdesk email traffic now takes 
the form of follow-up actions to existing, customer-entered incidents.  Most of 
the copying and pasting that the helpdesk has to do is from those email 
conversations into the worklog, which the customers can also update themselves 
via Kinetic Request.

Implementing web-based customer self-service will eliminate a lot of the email 
traffic that reports new issues.  Our Service Catalog login page includes a 
service item for customers who are unable to log in (via AREA LDAP) or don't 
have an account yet, so even those who are unable to log in to Kinetic Request 
still start by creating a new incident for the helpdesk, not by sending an 
email.

We do something like this.  A word of warning.  Remedy deletes a message from 
the inbox when it processes it.  This does not appear to be configurable.  This 
would delete the mail out of the help desk mailbox if you have Remedy look 
there.  Much better to have a secondary (forwarded) account for Remedy to check.

We find it useful.  We copy everything to a service desk account from the 
ticket making account so they can do things like see the tables in the original

are nearly impossible to read once changed to plain text to get put in the

Thanks, Lyle, Rick, and Raul,

Good ideas!  Either have the Remedy email engine listen to the HelpDesk 
mailbox, or have the HelpDesk mailbox forward its email to the Remedy mailbox.  
Then parse out the “AR System Email Messages” entries.  It gives us something 
to work on.

Thank you!

Dwayne
