iTop extension – Scheduled Triggers

Introduction

This extension makes it possible to schedule triggers, which can then trigger any required action.

Triggers can be defined on a global level to any type of iTop objects.

It’s possible to work with schedules so a trigger is executed at for example (but not limited to):

  • Every couple of minutes, hours, days.
  • The first of every month, quarter or year.

Or a trigger could be scheduled to be executed one time only.

Use cases

Note: Depending on the desired action, you may need to create a custom action or update your iTop datamodel.

  • Global:
    • Notify users about expiring contracts, licenses, …
    • Automatically close tickets.
    • Send automatic replies to tickets without response from a customer.
  • Personal:
    • Set a reminder to look at a ticket at a specific date.
      The reminder could be an e-mail, newsroom notification, …
