Automation rules do not trigger when Ticket is created by automation.

Christopher Atkinson

I am using JSM as a way for engineers to log support requests without having to work out the correct team.   We have automation working where the JSM ticket is created and then it will create another ticket in the correct backlog and close the original JSM ticket.   

The last step which is not working  - We would like to email the reporter to let them know that a ticket has been raised in the correct backlog.  

My issue seems to be that the rule to email the reporter is not being triggered.

 

I've tried all kinds of different triggers... so maybe there's a difference if the ticket is created automatically??

I can run it manually or use the create ticket option within the project and the rule runs.... just not when a ticket is automatically created

Hi Christopher,

Easy fix here: by default automation rules can not be triggered by other automation rules.

Open your rule and go to the rule details. You will see a checkbox Check to allow other rule actions to trigger this rule. Only enable this if you need this rule to execute in response to another rule. You need to enable this option.
