Email notifications not being delivered

Böðvar G. Jónss

Hey there fellow JIRA admins,

I've been having some problems with email notifications when external users (Outside of office) comment on issues.. The comment does get added to the Issue but for some reason the Assignee and Watchers do not get notified with email that the external user commented on the ticket.

I've already used the Notification Helper which says:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Event:Issue Commented

User: USERNAME

Project: PROJECTNAME

Scheme: Notification Scheme

Issue: ISSUE-XXXX

Status: USER receives notifications for the 'Issue Commented' event

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Users get notified with email when someone inside the office comments on the issues. Meanwhile I've set up an Notification addon similiar to the Facebook notifier, that shows when Issues have been commented on, but I'd really like to get this up and running again.

I got a response from Atlassian Support which worked:

,,Based on your issue description, it appears to me that you may be affected by the following bug: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-41226. Basically, this bug causes comments added via email to trigger a Issue Updated event rather than Issue Commented. So if your notification scheme is configured for Issue Commented, notifications wont be sent. Instead only users configured under issue updated would be notified."

Hi Böðvar, I stumbled on your ticket/comment and am wondering if I am having the same issue. My issue seems to be that our QA team is using one group email address for Jira, which everyone gets emails forwarded to their own email accounts. It seems when one of them updates or adds a comment to a ticket, no email notification gets sent. They have already set email preferences, "my changes" -> "notify me". They are all included as watchers to all tickets, but still are not receiving email notifications when they make changes, comments or updates. Would this be related to your issue? I am the group's Jira admin, but relatively new at it, but am trying to learn all the ins and outs, so perhaps you can tell me the steps you took to solve your issue, or can point me to some resources to help me if my issue is different. Cheers, Chris,

Hi Chris, I'm not @ work right now so I can't guide you step by step through this, but in short I just changed the notification scheme for 'Issue Updated' and included the Assignee, Reporter & Watchers. That did fix my issue. If you need further assistance feel free to PM me with your contact info and I'll help you out.

Hi Böðvar, Thanks for the tip. I'll try that first. If it fails, then perhaps I'll reach out to you personally. I appreciate your support on the issues. Chris,

Hi Jamie,

I am facing a typical problem. I have workflow and I need to fire a custom email notification to the user to take the next action based on recent change to the issue during the transition (i.e. some new custom fields get updated). I am able to successfully send an email, if don't include recent custom fields update in the transition but if I include custom field just updated before sending email, notification doesn't work.

Here is code snippet FYI. Below codes works fine even with custom fields as they have been part of initial issue creation but not during the transition. Can you please help with this?
