How do you exclude a "received at" email from an auto responder?
AnsweredHi All.
I am having some trouble excluding an email address from receiving an auto-responder email. I have included some images below of the current rules that exist for our auto responder message.
Context: The emails included in the "Meet ANY of the following conditions" all have the same domain. The email that we are attempting to exclude is not included in that list and is onboarding@samedomain.com.
Ideally, in the "must meet ALL of the following conditions" section, I would want to be able to set a rule that says " Received at IS NOT onboarding@samedomain.com, but that is not possible.
Ask: What rules do I need to create to achieve this same result?
Any support is appreciated.
Best,
Haley W

Hey Haley,
I feel your pain at the lack of an IS NOT operator. Come to this thread and add your voice to the those asking for this feature!
As for the solution today, in this case, I'd create a trigger that runs before this one you're designing.In that trigger:
Under ALL, Ticket is Created
Under the ANY section, put each received at email you want to exclude from the workflowfor the ACTION, add a tag that you can use for auto-responder exclusion (ex: tag1)
In the trigger you're building now in your post, you just need to add a condition under ALL for
Tags do not contain 'tag1'Hope that helps!

Hi Haley,
Great question!
Triggers run sequentially, so you can take advantage of this by having a trigger above the one that sends out the auto-response, this new trigger should target the tickets you don't want to send a notification and prevent that.
For example, you could have a new trigger have the conditions:
- Ticket is created
- Received at is onboarding@samedomain.com
and its action be:
- Add tag: "prevent_auto-responder"
Now, you can add an ALL condition to your existing trigger:
- Tags: have none of the following "prevent_auto-responder"
This way your tickets coming in on "onboarding@samedomain.com" will have been tagged so they no longer meet the conditions in your notifying trigger.
Best practise is to order and group your triggers by what action they perform, generally speaking in:
- SET: Set field values, like priority or any custom fields
- ROUTE/ASSIGN: Set group or individual assignee
- NOTIFY: Send out notifications.
Notifications are the last actions you would want to perform.
Hope that helps.
