How can send email using jira JAVA API?

Ramesh Lakshmanasamy

i configured SMTP in jira but when i am trying to send email smtp always null.also email object "from" return null

Example code:

Email em = new Email("bscitramesh@gmail.com");
System.out.println("em;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;"+em);
em.setSubject("Example Subject");

em.setBody("Hello");

em.setEncoding("text/plain");

SingleMailQueueItem smqi = new SingleMailQueueItem(em);
System.out.println("smqi;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;"+smqi);
ComponentAccessor.getMailQueue().addItem(smqi);

Hi @Ramesh Lakshmanasamy

Here is a working example for custom email with Jira JAVA API

import com.atlassian.mail.Email;
import com.atlassian.mail.queue.SingleMailQueueItem;

Email email = new Email("email_address@company.com");
 email.setCc("another_email_address@company.com");
 email.setFromName("what ever you want");
 email.setSubject("what ever you want");
 email.setBody("what ever you want");
 email.setMimeType("text/html");
 SingleMailQueueItem smqi = new SingleMailQueueItem(email);
 ComponentAccessor.getMailQueue().addItem(smqi);

 

Note that "setCc" and "setFromName" are not mandatory, you can remove these rows if you don't want them.

 

You can check your mail queue in Jira to make sure your code works and email are going to the queue.

If the email not sending then you configured the mail server wrong.

 

Try the code, check if you see the mail in the queue, and/or it being sent.

Let me know the outcome.
