Processing incoming emails

Email This Issue for Jira Cloud is not only about sending emails, but also processing incoming emails with powerful features like sending auto-reply emails, executing workflow transitions and initializing issue fields. All configurable with a flexible, intuitive action editor. Various email processing strategies that are not available in Jira Cloud are available in Email This Issue for Jira Cloud, such as:

  • Creating issues or subtasks

  • Commenting on issues or subtasks

  • Linking issues or subtasks

Auto-responses

Acknowledge the receipt of emails with an auto-response email that is sent to the sender of the incoming email when the email is processed with Email This Issue Mail Handler in Jira Cloud. Use arbitrary email templates to generate auto-responses.

Executing workflow transitions via email

Execute workflow transitions on issues via email. Extract the name of the transition to execute from email content, or execute a transition labelled with a property.

This feature is particularly useful when you want to reopen closed issues, or implement an easy email-approval process.

Integration with Jira Service Management

  • Sending fully customizable emails to Customers and Request participants with the desired layout and content that can include all fields of an issue.

  • Creating Service Management requests from email with all the power of field initialization and workflow execution.

Initialize fields from email

Initialize issue fields with data extracted from the incoming email. For instance, you can:

  • Find related issues for emails with custom logic

  • Fire events

  • Save email addresses

  • Configure multiple regexes to split off old content.
