Emailed reply not attaching to ticket

Anja Bresemann January 10, 2025

Hi, 

so I've been told I am not allowed to open tickets since we use the free version.

A user send a reply to the ticket notification email and I can see in the Exchange Admin Center that the email went out alright. But it never attached to the ticket and I can't find it in the Email logs in the project setting either.

What has happened here?

Hi @Anja Bresemann 

I created a support case on your behalf over in https://getsupport.atlassian.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/23/JST-1089536

Our JSM support team will likely want to gather more information about your environment to better understand the problem here.

Hi @Anja Bresemann 

I understand that a user replied to a JSM request notification, but their reply did not appear as a comment to that request/issue.  This most commonly happens because the user's email address, used to send their reply message, does not match the email addresses to which that request has been shared with. 

With JSM, there is a default security so that not just anyone can view/reply to a request.  By default, only the reporter that created the issue can view it.  That user can also choose to share the request with an organization, or more commonly use a CC field in the email to share it to other users.  This should then automatically add the users to the requested participants field for that request.  JSM and Jira are only able to identify users in this context by the email address they use to send their message.

If that user received the original notification to a different email address, such as an inbox alias, or a distribution list, then having that user reply to the request doesn't necessarily have the expectation that their comment should be added to that request.

In some cases, if the service project settings allow new users, it might create a new request from that user instead.

I would try to check the request itself to see if you can determine the exact email address it was shared with.  Also if you can review the user's response that wasn't added to the JSM request, checking the From value of that message might help to explain the behavior here.

This is not the case since the user was previously able to comment on the ticket using the same email address. The reply went to her personal email which is connected to her Atlassian account and she replied from there with said email. I can see all of that in the Microsoft Admin Center's message trace.

It could be a domain blacklist issue. Let me flag you post for investigation.

The domain is the same as our ticketing system is in. We have blocked any interactions with anyone outside of our domain.
