Hi Team, I am currently trying to configure an automation rule to send an email when a form is submitted in the XXX Space. However, the email is not being triggered after the form submission. The automation rule is set as follows: * Trigger: When forms are submitted * Action: Send email using the form email field Despite submitting the form successfully, the email is not being sent. Could you please help check if there are any configuration issues or permissions required for this automation to work? If any additional setup is needed, kindly guide me on the same. Please let me know if you need any further details from my end.

Hi @Ketan Gupta Then you can't use this in automation. You will need to map this field to a Jira field, as the smart value you want to use only works if this field "Email address" exists in Jira. Or you have to create a smart form, based on the form option within the space settings, then the inputs in the form can be used. https://support.atlassian.com/jira-service-management-cloud/docs/access-smart-values-for-forms-and-form-fields/

Hi @Marc -Devoteam- , The “Email address” option in a Jira Form is a form field type, not a standard Jira issue field, so it is not automatically created as an issue field when the issue is created. The entered email is stored in the form submission data attached to the issue, not in the issue fields. To use it in automation, the form field must be mapped to a Jira custom field.

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

Hi Team,

I am currently trying to configure an automation rule to send an email when a form is submitted in the XXX Space. However, the email is not being triggered after the form submission.

The automation rule is set as follows:

Trigger: When forms are submitted
Action: Send email using the form email field

Despite submitting the form successfully, the email is not being sent.

Could you please help check if there are any configuration issues or permissions required for this automation to work? If any additional setup is needed, kindly guide me on the same.

Please let me know if you need any further details from my end.

Hi Ketan - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Is this a Team-managed or Company-managed space?

The easiest (and best) solution is to create a custom field called Email Address. It can just be a short text field. Then map the form field to the new custom field.

Then your rule should work. Although you might want to add a Re-fetch action right after the trigger to be sure.
