Requested Participants not receiving notifications on tickets submitted via email

[Erin Moe]

Hello,

I tried reviewing other threads and I don't think I've seen any exactly like our issue.

We have an agent job that sends in a ticket into our JIRA help desk via email when a process is completed. When these tickets come in, we have a user go in and add Request Participants based on what team the ticket belongs to. However, the people added in Request Participants aren't getting any notifications.

What I don't get is that if a user submits a ticket through the JIRA interface (non-email), we can add Request Participants and they receive notifications without issue. Why would it work when tickets are submitted through JIRA but not through email.

Note: I'm not the JIRA Admin. I've asked our JIRA Admin for help and they said it's not possible. They looked at the notification settings, but I don't know if they're looking in the right spot or what exactly they are doing.

Any thoughts?

Thank you,

Erin

Hi Erin,

This is possible, but without admin rights to look at the settings it'll be hard to figure out why it's not sending. I am on Jira Service Desk server as well, and I rely on this feature a lot, so here's a few ideas about what may be going on:

-Request participants need to actually have access to the service desk portal

-Notification for Request Participants added may be turned off

-Request participants may be agents, sometimes being an agent makes the notification a user gets be the regular Jira notifications, so the notification scheme should also be checked.

-Have your admin check the outgoing email logs, spam quarrantine, etc.

I'll pass this information on and see what they say. Thank you!

Josh,

Apparently they have looked into those options and things appear to be set correctly. So no idea why it won't work.
