Troubleshooting


Advanced Configuration

Multiple Automation Rules

Rule 1: Urgent Tickets

Priority = Urgent
→ Immediate dispatch

Rule 2: Standard Tickets

Status = "Field Service Required"
Priority != Urgent
→ Normal dispatch

Prevent Duplicate Sends

Add custom field:

Field: "Synced to FN"
Type: Checkbox

Update rule conditions:

Status = "Field Service Required"
AND "Synced to FN" is NOT true

After sync, set checkbox to true.
