Hi @Liliana Carranza Mechan ,

Besides having to do the cleanup work, yo might need to dive in to the root cause here too.

Are these emails all different ones with a similar subject or replies without the issue number?

if they do contain the issue key in the subject then you could fix it so they just become comments. Otherwise, Jira will simply see this as a new issue.

As for the cleanup you could give the new SMARTS function a try. If you select one issue in the queue you should see a find similar requests button pop up.

You can link the issues that have same summary and close them with resolution duplicate.

To do this automatically you can follow automation, but there might be issues. So it's best to go with manually choosing which tickets are duplicates and close them with resolution you specify.

Thanks!! Pramodh,

But it is very hard to choose manually because some time there are three or four duplicate..

Normally I receive 50 tickets, today I get until 500 in my queue..

It's a smart work in JQL, Search for the issues with the same summary or you may have some sort of same fields that have duplicate issues and have them analyzed before you do a bulk operation.
