4.2 Cultural Contact Creation & Distribution
Overview
This new feature aims to improve the tracability of Ticket Ownership Changes in S-360 with a broader and more visible more approach, by reusing the existing S-360 built-in feature of Cultural Contact & Distribution.
Once enabled, the Retrieve Ticket Status function (aka Feedback Interface) will make sure that all TIXNGO Ticket Ownership Changes are materialized in S-360 with new Cultural Contact and a proper Distribution History.
THIIS BEHAVIOR IS CURRENTLY ACTIVE BY DEFAULT.
How Contact Sync works?
On the feedback interface side, ground rules are :
Do not cre
Only update temporary contacts.
In other words, the feedback interface will :
check first if a contact with this email address exist in S-360
If it’s a “normal” contact (ie with real first & last name), contact WON’T be updated.
If it’s a “temporary” contact (ie named Pending CREATION), the temporary contact will be updated according to the mapping provided below
if it does not exist create one → If ticket status is "PENDING_TRANSFER", the feedback interface only get the recipient e-mail address. Therefore a "temporary" contact named Pending CREATION will be created using recipient e-mail address.
create a new entry in the distribution history to mimic the transfer performed in TIXNGO.
How Distribution history works?
Distribution history contains the list of ownership changes applied to a ticket, ie the change of the Cultural Contact.
Each history entry must answer the classical questions Who, What, When and provide context to the distribution (Action, Contacts involved [old and new contact], Status of the Distribution)
