not quite minimalistic enough  

They do this to sell consulting services.

Problem

You want your OTRS installation to send your agents notifications whenever a ticket is created through the web service interface.

Analysis

The default notification configuration does not do this, perhaps because the triggering event is NotificationNewTicket, whatever that is.

Solution

Create a new ticket notification, or change the existing one, and set the “Event” field to TicketCreate.
