Workflow to manage Escalation and Transfer

Question
-
Hi to all,
I’d like to get a workflow for sending an email to Affected user as soon as analyst click on Transfer and/or Escalate task.
As Criteria I used an update IR workflow for escalation is:
FROM
Support group = GROUP1; GROUP2
Escalated field is false
TO
Support group = GROUP1;GROUP2
Escalated field is true
As Criteria I used an update IR workflow for transfer is:
FROM
Support group = GROUP1; GROUP2
Escalated field is false
TO
Support group = GROUP1;GROUP2
Escalated field is false
There is no firing for those workflow; why ? where my mistake is ?
Grazie mille Alex

Hi Alex,
I personally like the following Blog better:
How to configure notifications for assignment/re-assignment, action log/user comment updates for Incident/Service Request
http://blogs.technet.com/b/babulalghule/archive/2013/05/04/how-to-configure-notifications-for-assignment-re-assignment-action-log-user-comments-updates-for-incident-service-request.aspxYou can configure the notifications for the Affected User, as well as for the Assigned To user, which I find very helpful. For the second requirement you'll have to configure a workflow (Incident Event Workflow), which applies a template with those predefined settings (In Progress --> In Progress\Transfered or In Progress\Escalated), which is triggered on the respective work item update (when an object is updated).

Hi,
This blog post provides instructions on how to create the notification workflow for Incident assignment/re-assignment for your reference:
For more complex things you can either use the Authoring Tool to configure a workflow or use Orchestrator.

hi Xin,
thanks a lot for you answer.
I would like to change the Incident Status too during above actions from In Progress --> In Progress\Transfered or In Progress\Escalated applying a template.
I tried different criteria Matrix using Support Group, Escalated, Action Log, Assigned To fields without success.
Could you help me ?
Thanks
Grazie mille Alex
