Using Wildcards in Dispatcher rules

It would be nice to be able to add wildcards to dispatcher rules.    My thought was to help with the ability to setup a 'default template' for all tickets as they arrive.


I created a support ticket for this and it was suggested that I post it here.


In the interim, I have found a solution to setting most of the fields that I needed.    For our 'type' field, I simply reordered the available types so the top one was my default.   I then created a rule for all email going to our default email (tech@domain.com) and have it so all emails 'To' that address now have the Group & Agent set.

The Dispatch'r rules allow you to set 'Contains' as a search function. That should cover most wildcard situations?


+1 to allow effectively regexp/wildcards in the rules, here's my use case:


I have emails that come in like:


user-<something>@domain.com


These are wildcard inboxes that we use for various email processing. What I want is to be able to have a rule that says:


To email MATCHES user-*@domain.com


Or if you allowed regexps:


To email MATCHES user-[a-z]{3,8}@domain.com

Or how about variables?  Like %currentcustomer      or a dropdown for HAS FLAG


TO EMAIL > IS> %currentcustomer

COMPANY > HAS FLAG > "voip"
