Send email templates using Atera's auto-tags

Atera's ticket automation rules, combined with our AI auto-tagging, allow you to set actions that automatically trigger when certain ticket actions occur (e.g., new ticket created, ticket closed/resolved, ticket assignment changed). Possible actions include automated emails as well as automatic assignment of technicians and ticket fields.
