Hello @Ashwani Kumar Mishra 

Thank you for that additional information.

Jira Automation Rules don't support getting emails from an inbox and creating work items, unless your email provider has a REST API that can be called to access the email inbox. In Jira Automation there is a Send Web Request action that you can use to call a REST API, if that is available for your email inbox.

Jira does support creating items from emails. If you want to create those items in a Software Space you would use the native Email Handler capabilities to connect to the inbox. Refer to:

Create work items and comments from email 

If you want to create those items in a Service Space there is a separate email handling feature which offers some capabilities to connect to external email inboxes. Refer to

Add an external email address for receiving email requests
