How best to notify a group when an issue is added to queue

[Jack Brickey]

I have a few queues setup based on components. These components refer to a group of users that need to triage the issues. If I had a 1:1 relationship (component:user) I could simply assign to them using Components config screeen. However, there are multiple users that triage the queues.

Looking for best methods of handling.

To accomplish this your rule should be created similar to the one below. 

When - issue created

If - issue matches

     Once you've set the If to "Issue Matches" then you should be prompted to input some JQL which I believe from there you can do something simliar to
component in ("component1", "component2")

Then - alert user

Hopefully that helps!Cheers!

Would it be possible to have an up-to-date answer, since the post was made back in 2017 (the image included is not present in the current JSM Cloud). 

I'm desperately looking on notifying different team members based on the nature of the ticket.

@Eric Bergeron , I would suggest creating a new post. Your details might be different resulting in a different answer. FWIW the image is for Legacy automation which isn't in the more recent instances but remain in older instances (grandfathered).

Although we don't use Service Desk, we have a similar situation.

Do you have the ability to set up an email alias that emails that group of users? We've created a user with an email alias that emails several different users. When that email alias user becomes the Assignee of an issue, an email notification goes out to everyone in that group. The first person to see it would then assign it to themselves or triage as necessary.

thanks Alex. I think that could work. the issue I think is going to be that the email as a user will result in counting as a JSD agent which would result in a monthly cost. :-( I am going to play with the idea though.

Hey Jack,

Have you checked out the automation piece of JSD (link below) to see if you could apply a rule that says

When issue is created, alert person 1,2,3,4?

yes i did but don't see a way to do that based upon component.

[M.Rey]

I believe that would show up in the 'IF' part of the rule

When - issue created

If - issue matches

     Once you've set the If to "Issue Matches" then you should be prompted to input some JQL which I believe from there you can do something simliar to
component in ("component1", "component2")

Then - alert user

Hopefully that helps!

Ah...yes indeed it is there. I was sure it was there and completely missed the advanced link. That should do the trick.

Probably should convert you response to answer so i can up vote it.
