Zammad Outbound Integration
With the Zammad Outbound Integration you can create Zammad Tickets right from ilert alerts.
To set up this integration, you must have admin rights in ilert.
In Zammad: Create an API key
Optional: create a dedicated ilert user in Zammad. This has the advantage that you can distinguish the Zammad tickets created by ilert.
Go to Profile, then to Token Access and click on Create
In the Name section, enter a name eg. ilert
In the Ticket section, choose Agent
Click on Create
An agent token has a group scope
An agent token has a group scope so if you want to use a group that the current user is not a member of, you need to create a token with the admin scope for all groups.
The modal window will open, copy the generated access token
In ilert: Create a Zammad Connector and link to the alert source
Click on the gear icon and then on the Connectors button
Click on Add Connector
Select Zammad as type and fill in all fields. Enter a name, the URL of your Zammad server and the access token that you have created in the previous step.
Go to the alert sources tab and open the alert source whose alerts you want to publish in Zammad. Click on Alert actions and then on Create alert action.
Select Zammad as the type; futhermore select the connector created in step 3, fill in all fields.
In the Email field enter the existing customer email of Zammad.
Finished! You can now test the connection by clicking on the button Test this connection.
A test ticket will be created in Zammad.
