Mail Interactions
Approvals and satisfaction surveys by email, no login required
Mail Interactions puts action buttons in GLPI notification emails. The approver approves or refuses an approval request, and the requester validates the solution, reopens the ticket or answers the satisfaction survey, with no login: just click the button in the email and confirm on the page that opens, where a comment can also be left.
Features
It works on tickets and changes (approval, solution validation and satisfaction survey) and on problems (solution validation). On installation, the module creates the notifications and email templates with the buttons, which you edit in GLPI like any other template. The templates come ready in six languages (Portuguese, English, Spanish, French, German and Italian), and each recipient gets the email in their own; other languages receive English. The answer is saved in GLPI itself: the approval as if the approver had answered in GLPI, with business rules applied; an accepted solution closes the ticket and a refused one reopens it, with a follow-up; and the rating goes to GLPI's native satisfaction survey.
Each link can be used only once and has a validity period: 7 days by default, adjustable. The solution validation link lasts for the entity's automatic closing delay, when set, and the survey link for the survey duration set in the entity. Once a button is used, the opposite one stops working. The pages open in the recipient's language, and the Layouts tab shows a preview of each one.
How it works
Adjust the email templates
On installation, the module creates the approval, solution validation and satisfaction survey notifications, already with the buttons. Edit the templates in GLPI or use the module tags in your own templates.
GLPI sends the email
When an approval is requested, a ticket is solved or GLPI generates the satisfaction survey, the notification goes out with links unique to each recipient.
The recipient answers with no login
They click the button, check the summary on the page that opens, leave a comment if they want and confirm. The page is shown in their language.
GLPI is updated
The approval, the ticket status or the survey is updated in GLPI itself, with business rules applied. A link that was already used, has expired or belongs to a request already answered shows a notice page.
