New with JIRA and need help with Comments

[nathan]

I was assigned to create a comment when someone write a comment on a ticket that begins with *client, We want to have automation send the message over to the client. If it doesn't have *client, Don't send it to client. I've been searching for a solution for this for days.

Hello @nathan 

Can you confirm that this applies to a Jira Service Management project?

If so, a Comment that is entered manually with the Reply To Customer option

will automatically be sent to the customer(s) on the ticket based on the Customer Notifications you have configured for the project.

What problem are you trying to solve by using a keyword in the Comment and then an automation rule to send it?

@Trudy Claspill  yes ma'am trying to create an automation where customer can reply back in the comment inside Jira

[Trudy Claspill]

Customer can add comments to a Jira Service Management issue (to which they have access) through the Customer Portal or by replying to the emails they receive.

That native functionality manages sending emails to the customer when a comment is entered, and allowing the customer to feed a comment back to the issue by replying to the email or going to the Customer Portal.

I am still not clear on the problem you are trying to solve, nor why you think you need automation to manage this.

This was given to me as a task for comment automation, since im new with the system i tried to get all the necessary information possible and haven't found any article for it.

I am a strong advocate for exploring what problem is trying to be solved and finding the best solution rather than implementing a customization just because somebody asks for it.

Have you reviewed the extensive documentation on the Automation Rules feature?
