How do I automate 3 scheduled emails (different wording each time) to a reporter?

Micky Semere

Hi, please help!

When a new issue comes through about an overdue piece of kit with the subject line 'overdue kit' I manually tag it as overdue kit in request type and add a label e.g Label A. Then I add the email of the person who still has the overdue kit to reporter.....At this point i'd like to have an automated 1st email sent to them as soon as its labelled e.g 'label a'... a friendly 1st email with wording reminding them to send it kit back . if they dont respond in 4 days time I'd like it so that they get another scheduled a second email with wording thats different (sense of urgency).. 4 days later still no response id like them to get one last 3rd email with final warning of sorts....so 3 scheduled emails total to go out until i either get a response from them at which point i would want them to get no more emails or the tickets resolved because they sent the kit back.

What rule/trigger/condition can i use.. can someone assist me mapping out the flow of this automation for the process i described? i'm a beginner with automation. Any tips on what else i can automate in that process described aswell would be useful. thanks!

Hello @Micky Semere

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

You can probably automate the setting of the Request Type and the addition of the Label.

How do you know what email to add to the Reporter field? Is that information available somewhere in the issue already, or do you have to look that up somewhere else?

You said after you add the Label then you "add the email of the person... to reporter". The Reporter field should already have a value when the issue is created. Are you "adding" or "changing" the value of the Reporter field?

Adding the email to the reporter field from own device management system. Its not on issue. @Trudyclaspill

To whom do you want the email sent? Is that person in one of the User Picker fields in the Jira issue?

How do you decide that a response has been received? Would you be looking for a comment from one of the Users involved with the issue? Would you be looking at the issue having been changed to a particular status?

When does the response time period check start? Is that # days from the date the issue was created?

You will need multiple rules to cover all your scenarios.

Scenario 1: Send email right after specified value is added to Labels field

Scenario 2: Send email if no response received after 4 days

Scenario 3: Send email if no response received after 8 days

There would be additional rules for automating setting the Request Type and adding the Label.

To whom do you want the email sent? Is that person in one of the User Picker fields in the Jira issue? I'd want it sent to a customer. I have to add their email to customer list first(send them invite) then go back to the issue and then their email appears in drop down in reporter once pasted in/searched for.

How do you decide that a response has been received? Would you be looking for a comment from one of the Users involved with the issue? yes a comment

Would you be looking at the issue having been changed to a particular status? Yes. once they have responded it will change from the status 'waiting for customer response' to 'waiting for support response' to notify me that they have responded and I have to then take action.

When does the response time period check start? Is that # days from the date the issue was created? not sure what you meant by this? id want it automated from day1 creation as soon as i put customer info on the ticket, label info and /reporter (email info). Day 12 id then want a notification to myself saying no response if they still haven't commented. An automatic status change to something like 'send letter'. Id want to be notified somehow to take action on day 12.

I hope I'm making sense. thanks for your help as well, its much appreciated. Please advise further. micky
