External domains need to be allowed to create email request tickets.

[brad_krivelow]

How is there a way to allow external domains to create email request tickets. Whenever I email from an external domain to our support address I just get the following error in the logs "Sorry, self-signup is disabled for this help center. You need to be invited first.". I already have "Customers can create their own accounts by signing up or sending an email request." enabled.

Any update? Same problem here. Nothing above seemed to work

[Tim Gorbatuk]

Having the same issue as others in this form. for us only emails without a *.com are failing to create a ticket. 

Does the customer's email address have to follow the ID@company.com syntax?

Can a ID@company be allowed to create a ticket through the portal settings?

Jira service desk is very complex, too many settings to confirm to get things working

I made the changes highlighted, and it did work for me. It should work for external domains trying to send email requests.  I set the permission and customer access as suggested and then it did work.. Make the required changes as above and then try to send email request and see what the logs show after that. Should not be showing same error message

Bump. We're running into the same issue.

Hi guys, I am experiencing the same issue as well (even tho when all the options are enabled from your suggestions), is there any solution to this?

Thank you!

Kind regards,

Daniel

Hi @brad_krivelow 

You should have "Allow portal-only accounts to be created for new customers accessing the help center" switched on too.

[brad_krivelow]

tried that and still nothing as well

[Daniel Istrati]

same for me doesn't work

[Daniel Istrati]

@brad_krivelow hi brad did you manage to find a solution to this?

[Eliot_Cole]

Doesn't this mean that they create a cost by doing so?

Surely there should be an option that even if they can't *raise* tickets, they can at least update them when they send through a [JIRA](PROJECT-999) email, right?

[Mikael Sandberg]

Check your Customer permissions on the project and make sure you have selected "Anyone allowed on the customer access settings" under Service project access.

[brad_krivelow]

Yup...still no dice

[Mikael Sandberg]

Have you also enabled "Customers can access and send requests from the portal without logging in"?

[brad_krivelow]

tried that as well

[Mikael Sandberg]

Hmm, okay check if Settings > Products > Email requests that either of the top two options for Account creation for customer is selected

[Suzi Firth]

@Mikael Sandberg 

Wouldn't it be only the second option for Anyone? They aren't existing customers so top option would still block.

[Mikael Sandberg]

No, both allows creation of new accounts, for the first one it depends on both your global customer access settings and project setting, here is the KB explaining it.

It comes down to if you want to control customer access on the project level or on a global level.

tried that too, didn't work
