🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically this script lists, creates, modifies or deletes scrip actions in the RT DB. and once you've made an action? you can use it in a scrip. that's the whole point, that's the assignment. ✨

for example (and this is the original example, i'm not making this up), you can create the following action using this script:

rt-email-group-admin --create 'Notify developers' --group 'Development Team'

and THEN, bestie, you can add the following scrip to your Bugs queue:

Condition: On Create
Action:    Notify developers
Template:  Transaction
Stage:     TransactionCreate

and boom 💥 your development team will be notified on every new ticket in the queue. iconic behavior honestly.

👑 COMMANDS 👑

⭐ list

Lists actions and its descriptions. short, sweet, does exactly what it says on the tin.

🍓 create NAME [--comment] [--group GNAME] [--user NAME-OR-EMAIL]

Creates new action with NAME and adds users and/or groups to its recipient list. Would be notify as comment if --comment specified. The user, if specified, will be autocreated if necessary. (yes, it just makes them for you. generous fr fr.)

🧚 add NAME [--group GNAME] [--user NAME-OR-EMAIL]

Adds groups and/or users to recipients of the action NAME. The user, if specified, will be autocreated if necessary. same deal as above.

💀 delete NAME

Deletes action NAME if scrips doesn't use it. so if a scrip is holding onto it? nope, no delete for you. 🙈

🌸 switch NAME

Switch action NAME from notify as correspondence to comment and back. it's a toggle, bestie. flip it, flop it.

💜 rename NAME --newname NEWNAME

Renames action NAME to NEWNAME. glow-up arc for your action names.

🎀 NOTES

If command has option --group or --user then you can use it more then once, if other is not specified.

so like — repeat --group as many times as you want, or repeat --user as many times as you want. just don't try to double up on both at the same time, iykyk. 🫶
