Bulk upload of tickets on behalf of customers

Question

Hello!

We're trying to find away to bulk load tickets on behalf of customers allowing us to notify the customer (outside of the org) to their ticket so they can see the progress and respond through email. We already have our JSM setup so customers can create accounts, but can't seem to get that to work through the bulk ticket upload.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi @Ranan Absidian , You can try this steps.

CSV Import

* Go to Jira Settings > System.
* Under Import & Export, select External System Import.
* Choose CSV and follow the prompts to upload your file.
* Ensure the Reporter field is mapped correctly to the customer's email address.

@Ranan Absidian Welcome To The Atlassian

If you go to your JSM project, there is a Customer section.  In there, you should be able to add/invite your users there.

Once they exist in there, you should be able to do your import.

I would recommend you do the imports in bulk based on their email domains as the importer asks you for that.

Hi Joseph!

The error I'm getting is
"The validation process has found 1 error/s

* Issue can't be created due to the error/s [ The reporter specified is not a user. ]"

I know this means that the reporter doesn't have customer access, so I'm looking for a setting to create those customers when we do the issue creation.

Thanks!
