I have a support email address on which we expect our customers to send email for support. Can we integrate JIRA Service Management module with Outlook so that whenever we receive a mail from the client, a ticket is automatically created and automatic response is sent to the sender with ticket number.

Any mail communication through email with that ticket number in the subject should also get logged to JIRA.

Whenever the ticket is closed, an auto response should be sent to the person who has reported the issue regarding closure of the ticket.

Hi @Vivek Kumar Aggarwal , 

 

yes you can easily create tickets from emails coming in a specific mailbox. This is a standard feature of Jira Service Management, not sure if you are on Data Center or Cloud but both are available : 

 

All following emails will be added to the initial ticket, using the Jira issue key that is automatically added in the email subject line.

 

Let me know if this helps,

Hey @Vivek Kumar Aggarwal ,

Welcome to the community.

I would vouch for the "Email Requests" that have been mentioned in the other threads, I would also like to propose the "Incoming Mail handler" as an option too : https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/create-issues-and-comments-from-email/.

This email can be used globally for all projects which may give it a little edge of using a common mail across your tool.
