Setup component for incoming mail handler

Question

I have a requirement where I need to create JIRA tickets automatically based on emails to a specific email ID .

We already have a email id in place where if we send email , JIRA gets auto created . Next requirement is :

* We want to assign components , epic of JIRA through email so that it is assigned to correct component queue and correct developer to look into ?

We are mainly doing it to create JIRA tickets based on Production issues alert emails so that it is assigned to correct component lead?

Can you please let me know how can this be done

@Alexey Matveev How could one use the Jira Service Desk Automation feature to accomplish this task. I'm tasked with a similar problem whereas I would like to add a component to a ticket based on what alias email ID the ticket was sent to.

For example, if an email was sent to apples@fruit.com, we would like to add the #apples component, but if the email was sent to oranges@fruit.com (alias address to apples@fruit.com), we would like the #oranges component assigned to it.

Any and all assistance is very much appreciated!
