How to create issue from email in Jira [Ho-ho-ho edition]

[#1]

When was the last time you had an orderly inbox? I mean, absolutely organized. Everything is read and labeled, and important emails are marked with stars. You've replied to all the emails and created a Jira issue to solve some of them. How many of you have done this? I'm guessing less than 1% of Gmail users who are reading this article.

Imagine you're a super busy person. Somewhere as busy as Santa Claus during the Christmas season.

So, one day, in Gmail, Santa has...

Jira, Gmail, and the Christmas rush

 A long time ago, Santa cursed those intelligent people who told children, "Why send a letter by regular mail? It takes too long, and the mail doesn't always work well. Let's send Santa an email!". It's good that the Wizard kept his phone number private from everyone, and only a few good friends and family have it. Otherwise, the phone would have exploded from the overload of messages and calls. 

Jira is familiar to Santa. He also had to master Gmail. The digital age is taking its toll.

Another question arose - it would be nice to set tasks for your employees directly from an email in Jira. 

Santa scratched a gray beard and went to look for the necessary app...

Gmail Jira integration

The answer came quickly in the form of the Email & Tasks: Jira Cloud for Gmail app.

Oh, a new email! It's time to test the app.

Open our mail, click on the Email&Tasks logo, and try to create an email using the Try 1-Click Task (AI-based) feature.

One-click and the task is created!

This is nothing short of the magic of Christmas and Jira in action!

So, how else can Santa use Email&Tasks in his work?

• Create a Jira issue manually, or push the entire content of an email to a task with a few clicks.
• Need to create an online meeting on Google Calendar to discuss Christmas tree ornaments? No problem.
• You can edit and comment on the Jira issue.
• Add work logs to the issue.

And if our multitasking Santa Claus also uses the Google Chrome browser, the Email&Tasks extension will also come in handy for him.
