I am receiving two emails that I am using Jira Automation to create a ticket from. The first email, lets me know that there is a data issue, and a Jira ticket is created to document the event. I then receive a second email, letting me know the event has been resolved, and I'd like to have the automation rule update the status of the first ticket, but right now the rule I have is creating an entirely new issue rather than closing out the initial issue.
Rule 1 creates a ticket #XYZ when the vendor emails about issue #XYZ
Rule 2 is meant to trigger the resolution of ticket #XYZ when the vendor emails that the initial issue #XYZ has been resolved
Welcome to the community. Please share your rules in details and we can take a look at how we can assist. (screenshots would be ideal).
Regards

You may have to review the email ticket creation vs comments configuration first. Look at the jira handlers section. When a user replies to an email that has the issue key it adds it as a comment. Otherwise it creates a new ticket.

Also check whether rule 2 has executed in the audit log.

Hey there Simon,
To backup Fabian here, the first step is to ensure that your email handler adds a comment rather than creates a new issue.
Automation will only work on issue events rather than emails directly.
Once you've got your email handler adding comments you can set up your rule to be:
You must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.
