Hello Shreesha.
I had the same problem some time ago.
Problem was in the fact that there where 3 email notification records in the SM which met the condition requirement at the same time and fired all at a time.
As a solution i set two of them to false and after that only one email was sent from SM.

Hi Gorda,

My customer met with a similar issue: when an interaction was closed by ServiceDesk, he received 3 notificaiton mails.

I want to know what records you set to false. Could you please help with the answer?

Thank you!

Hi,

Are you using scsmtp for sending emails?

If yes, then check how many task maanger processes are running for scsmtp...

It tends to send duplicate messages if many processes of scsmtp are running. You need to kill them.

Else, as suggested by Vadim, check your notification records starting with "SM" such as SM Add, SM Update..and modify accordingly.

Hi Gaurav,

Thanks for your suggestion.

I have tried to check the notification definition of "SM Close", finding below 3 triggering conditions

1. MS.slo.status in $file~=$oldstatus and open in $L.file="Closed" and MS.notify in $L.file=true and MS.closure.method in $L.file="Passive" and operator()~="linker"

2. open in $L.file="Closed" and MS.notify in $L.file=true and MS.closure.method in $L.file="Active" and operator()~="linker"

3. open in $L.file="Closed" and MS.notify in $L.file=true and MS.closure.method in $L.file="Passive" and operator()~="linker"

Until now we found two interactions whose closure method is "Passive" triggered 3 same notifications when being closed, but we cannot yet be sure there's anything wrong with the conditions because other ones also run normally.

Besides, I have tested the method Vadim suggested, set the "Save First" field to "false". Someone said it worked but not from my side. 

Could you please help with the anylisis?

Thank you!
