Can't hide agent name on email response to customer

Jack Howard August 6, 2021

I have configured a new template for the email response that automatically sends to a customer when a ticket has been changed or added to.

In this email, it shows the customer the name of the agent that has made the action on their ticket. 

I don't want the agent name to be disclosed, instead I want to have a generic agent name used, such as 'Support Team'. 

So when the customer gets a response, it will always show them 'The Support Team has replied to your ticket....'

 

For reference I found the below article on this from 2017 but there has been no update to it recently... https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Service-Management/How-to-hide-agent-name-for-comment-reply-notification-on-JIRA-SD/qaq-p/592109

There are active backlog items for this.  Even if you strip all of your Customer Notifications down to remove references to agents, including the "Shared with" footer, customers will still get email notifications with the Agent names in the "From" header of the email.  The only option I have found for getting around this is to have the user go into their personal profile settings and hide their Full Name to be only visible to the company and then set their "Public Name" to be generic first name, initials, Help Desk Agent, etc.  Keep in mind that this will also be what is used in the Community areas like this.

This is brilliant, why does it seem like no one else knows about this?

Many thanks!

The templates for customer notifications is under project settings > customer notifications. In that screen you can edit the desired notifications and remove the assignee variable that may exist.

Note: This is a system setting. As such it will hide for all project notifications not just the specific JSM project.
