Send Email/Create Ticket from Insight Date Field

Luke Simms

Hello all,

Scratching my head... We have our domains as objects in Insight. They have a Date field for the expiry of the domain. We want an email alert or a ticket created (Could just email our helpdesk to create a ticket, that is fine) when it is close to the expiry date.

Please tell me this is possible? You'd think something like this would be an obvious feature but I can't see it.

Thanks,

Luke

Hey @Luke Simms and welcome to the community!

While it's common use-case it's not something that comes out of the box

The way you can set this up is thru an Automation rule.

Create a Scheduled rule (daily)
Do an IQL that searches for objects where the expiration date is < today/now
Action -> Send an email or create a ticket

To avoid getting the same each day you could add a flag on the object or play around with the IQL to only show the ones that are expiring today (expiration date = today)

Hi @Dirk Ronsmans

Thanks for the swift response. So when creating the automation, I assume I want to create the Object as a field so it appears in Automation.

Am I on the right track or wrong?

Thank you.

Dirk Ronsmans

The object field part seems not needed to me. If you do it like that you'll have to query issues which have a value on that field. And we don't really want to query issues we want to query the Object Schema

You can forget about the field itself and just do a query on the Objects (not an issue field)

It will pretty much do the same as when you manually do an IQL search on your Insight schema and return that result then.

So while you're somewhat on the right track (your IQL seems ok) you are overthinking it

Thanks @Dirk Ronsmans but it won't let me enter the IQL on the Object section on the IQL condition. It has a red stop sign when I go over the box. Is this a permissions issue..?

Sorry i've taken a picture of my screen as a screenshot wouldn't capture the stop sign.

Even easier would be to use the action "Branch on IQL" and create an issue for each found object.
