Agent not getting email notifications

Question

I am trying to set up JIra Service Management for my small company, I cannot. get the agent to get email notifications when we raise a ticket.  I do have them set up as an agent with a role as Service Desk Team. I do not have them added as a Customer. Still they are not getting the email notifications. They are set up with the correct email, they got the initial invitation when I invite them as an agent. What am I missing?

Getting frustrated.

@Naomi CaseboltFor Agents, they get notifications according to the projects notification scheme, not the customer notifications setting which is for customers. For the event Issue Created use the group that include the agents for your project (or the project role Service Desk Agent).

Also, JSM projects includes queues that your agents can use to see al incomming requests.

Hi @Naomi Casebolt , assuming you're a Jira administrator you might check the Project settings > Notifications to ensure "Current Assignee" is included in the "An issue is created" Notification Type as well as in all the actions for which you want the agent to receive notifications. Another thing you can try is Settings (gear in top right) > System > Permissions helper and enter the agent's name, one of the issues they should have access to, and the Service Project Agent permission -- this may provide some help in determining what's going on and how to fix it.

Let us know if neither of these suggestions works so someone else can offer suggestions!
