Request participants added automatically

[giuseppe IN]

Hi everyone,

I've created an Automation that alerts some users when a new ticket is created.

When this ticket is created starting from the Customer Portal, the above mentioned users are added automatically into the Request Participants field.

I would like it not to happen because, due to privacy reason, I don't want that an external customer could see the internal users who will work on the request.

How can I avoid this behaviour without loosing the internal alert?

Thanks

How are you automating, Scriptrunner, Automation for Jira, other? How are users being made aware of others? If it is the email can you us Bcc I stead of To? How do you identify Internal users? If the have Jira licenses and browse access to the project then add them as watchers, not request participants.

Hi, I'm using Automation by Jira. On creation event (Trigger = Issue created) I just add a comment like this: "[~user1][~user2] A new ticket has been created...". I select Users according to a custom field. I need them to be alerted on the ticket creation and I want this message is written in the comment section. How can I reach my goal and avoid this strange behaviour on request participants?

@Jack Brickey any suggestions? Thanks

If you want to notify someone without adding them to the the RP field then use "email" action. Then if you need something in the comment too then add a separate comment action.
