Canned responses

Canned responses are predefined text responses that allow you to quickly insert them into outgoing manual emails.

Canned responses can be added, deleted and edited in the canned responses section of Jira Email This Issue administration. They only take text input, velocity, and other codes are not yet supported.

1. Go to OUTGOING EMAILS --> Canned Responses and do either of the following:

• Add new responses by clicking on the Add button.

Field	Description
Name	The name of the canned response. This will be displayed when composing a manual email.
Description	The description of the response. This is displayed only in the list of canned responses.
Response	The text response itself. This is the one text that you can insert into your outgoing emails.
Category	Set any category for your canned responses. Categories have to be added in Contexts afterward to be able to select them on the email screen. If the canned responses option is enabled, and no category is chosen, all of them will be available for choosing on the email screen.
