We use an IMAP Mailbox to receive requests from emails. This works fine, However we have a Zendesk instance for another support channel. It can happen that an email is sent to the wrong channel and we would like to forward the email to Service Desk.
These forwarded emails get ignored by Service Desk. We assume it's because of the
Auto-Submitted: auto-generated
header that Zendesk applies to the emails. It is impossible to prevent that in Zendesk.
I have the ability to manipulate the mails in the mailbox (add headers and so on) however, I'm not able to touch the Auto-Submitted header.
Is there any way I can force Service Desk to pick up a Mail as a Service Desk request?
Hello @Reto Schläpfer
Sorry to hear you are facing this problem.
Indeed, the Global Processor Puller of JIRA Service desk will reject all e-mails where the Auto-Submitted header has a value different from "no", as mentioned in this documentation.
Today, we don't have a way to change that setting in JIRA SD, however, we understand how this feature would be useful and have created a feature request to get it implemented:
Feel free to vote and watch the suggestion to increase its priority and also receive notifications about any updates.
For now, the only suggestion we can offer you would be to change the header of the e-mail before sending it to Service Desk.
Let me know if you have any questions.
