At St. J School we've just started using a form-based Help Desk Ticket.
It's based on a Google Apps script - the one Nick linked, I think.
Having written code in various languages in the past, it was fairly easy
to follow what the code was meant to do.
One thing that took me a bit to figure out was that the "On Open" event
is "automatically" included, but I had to add a trigger for "On Form Submit"
to get the code that sends off an email (to the submitter and to our IT
group) to run.
Also, when recipients get an email, it's from the "owner" of the form.
The owner (which was me, initially) will only see the generated email in
"sent" mail, not in their inbox.
I never got the emails sent to our IT group, though the others in the
group would.
We created a "Dumbledore" account that owns the form. That's the account
that responds to help requests (as seen by the users), and I now get
the help request emails in my inbox, since I'm no longer considered the
sender.
