# Sending issue filters by email

The Issue Navigator is a flexible search and reporting tool in Jira. It is where you develop your issue filters. Email This Issue allows you to send the issues from a filter in emails.

Do the following to send filters by email with the help of Email This Issue: 

1\. Go to **Issues** -> **Search for issues**, then switch to **Advanced** search.

3\. Type in the desired filter, then, as shown in the image below, click the **Email** button in the top right corner.

* Send Issues Separately

This operation will send each issue in a separate email. You can rely on all the recipient options available in all email screens in Email This Issue.

Recipients may be issue-specific, such as Assignees or recipients from custom fields, etc.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Email This Issue sends a single email to all recipients, unlike Jira, which sends separate emails. This means if you send `n` issues to `m` recipients for an issue, JETI sends `m` emails, while Jira sends `n x m` emails.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: The *Outgoing Email Connection* used for sending out each email will be determined by the *Context* configured for the Issue.
{% endhint %}

* Send List of Issues

This operation will send the list of issues in a single email. This is useful when you need to send the content of a filter in an issue table.

Recipients of these emails may be the users, external email addresses or user groups. Roles, issue participants, and custom fields are not available.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: The *Outgoing Email Connection* that will be used to send out these emails can be configured in the *General Configuration* under the *Bulk Email* section.
{% endhint %}

6\. Compose your email the usual way by setting recipients, content, and options.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: The email composition screen allows you to select a template to generate the emails from the dropdown list. When the content of a filter is sent in an issue list, templates must be created from the Issue List theme.

For more information, see [Email templates](#emailissuefilters-emailtemplates).
