I have configured the CRON email scheduler and it fires without any errors, but the system does not send an email when a ticket is updated. Also, when I use the CRON Log feature from the dashboard, the Email Processing option is available for selection (CRON Tasks is greyed out), but there is no log entries displayed. 

There is also an anomaly that when I enter All Staff Members to be notified in the Category setup, it does not send an email for a new ticket creation. If I add the users manually, it will send the emails.

Can you provide me with some direction to investigate what is/is not happening in the system?

I would start with the “is it plugged in” questions first:

  • Can the site send emails, at all? Global Configuration, send test email.
  • Is ATS configured to actually send emails? ATS, Options, Common, Send Emails must be Yes.
  • Are the email templates set up? ATS, Email Templates, Reset if unsure (you will lose all customisation).
  • Are any users set up as category managers for the category which doesn't seem to send out any email? This can be either implicit (Super User), or explicit.
  • Is the category set up to not send email to specific managers?
  • Is the manager's user preference to not receive system email, i.e. user settings, Receive System Email is set No? If so, yup, they will not receive any email from ATS.

I have found that most of the times I am troubleshooting an email sending issue, either the site can't send emails at all but nobody noticed before, or the manager has set their user preference to not receive system email, i.e. the first and last items. That said, best go through the entire list one step at a time. It's easy to set an optioned forget about it. Been there, done that.
