    Alert help

    We have created a ticketing system and I want to set up an alert that notifies a tech that an item in a list has been assigned to them by the front line support, but I can't seem to get it to work. I can't seem to find a problem with my logic so I wanted to verify that my logic is wrong and not something in AM.

     I have the alert set to:
    Only send Alerts when: All Changes
    Send Alerts when: custom filter

    Technician Assigned Equal to [me]
    and
    Created By Not Equal to [me]

    I can send a screenshot of the exact settings if need be. So far, nothing is ever sent out, and I cannot figure out why.

    Your logic seems fine. Just make sure that since the filter property value field does not include a People Picker that you include the user names accurately - [Me] will not work because it is a free text field and will be seen as a literal string by Alert Manager.

    Alert Filter
