Auto-email Support Team after team determination (new message)

Question

Hi everyone, I know this topic has been discussed on SDN a lot, but it is still unclear how one gets the auto-email working when a new message arrives in the Service Desk. We are currently on SSM 7.0 EHP1, and I have gone through note SAP Note "1041455 -Partner dependant actions are not executed". So, here is what I have done so far:
- with note 1041455, I copied the CRM_DNO_PARTNER_1 method to ZCRM_DNO_PARTNER_1 and edited the code as described, then assigned it to the Action Definition SLFN0001_ADVANCED_FIND_PARTNER (I removed the old CRM_DNO_PARTNER_1 method).
- in SPPFCADM, I used the Action Profile SLFN0001_ADVANCED with Action Definition SLFN0001_ADVANCED_FIND_PARTNER for the Support Team finding, which works. I even set this one to Immediate Processing.
- then I copied Action Definition SLFN0001_ADVANCED_STATUS to ZSLFN0001_ADVANCED_STATUS and made it Partner Dependent on SLFN0003 (Support Team), Schedule Automatically (and I have tried most of the Action Merging options). Start Condition is "When saving document". Under Processing Types I used the Smart Forms Mail type.
- Then, under Conditions for the Action Profile SLFN0001_ADVANCED I added the ZSLFN0001_ADVANCED_STATUS action and set the Start Condition to "&CRM Service Process.User Status&  = E0001SLFN0001". So the status should be New.
Now, whenever I create a Service Message from satellite system, the message gets created, the Support Team is determined but no email is sent to the Support Team. When I open the message and click on Change, then only does the auto-email action list under the Actions tab. Only when I saved the message does it actually send the email.
So can anyone please help in getting the email sent to the Support Team right after the message gets created and the Support Team gets determined? Your help would be much appreciated!

Hi Michele,
At last, i made this one working by changing the action SLFN0001_ADVANCED_FIND_PARTNER to "Immediate Processing". Try to check this standard action, you will see that it was set to "Processing when saving".
Create a new action profile like Z_SLFN0001_ADVANCED_FIND_PARTNER (copy SLFN0001_ADVANCED_FIND_PARTNER then set to "Immediate Processing") then change the sort order in a way that it is lower than the standard one. Remeber to set also the Condition Configuration (Just copy the condition of standard SLFN0001_ADVANCED_FIND_PARTNER).
Next, create the action profile that will send the email notification with "Immediate Processing" also. Assign a sort order higher than the number you assigned to Z_SLFN0001_ADVANCED_FIND_PARTNER.
Try this one. It works on our system.
Please send back if you have questions.
Thank you,
Ice
