Tickets created by the agent do not trigger customer notification.

[Tim Rutschi]

When I create a ticket as an admin/agent, the customer does not receive a mail about the process, even when I address the comment in the ticket to the customer. I checked the settings several times but found nothing. When the customer opens the ticket everything works as it should. Of course I create the ticket on behalf of the customer, so he is shown as the author.

Can anyone help me with this?

Hi @Tim Rutschi 

How are your agents creating  tickets? Direct JIRA UIs create button or from the portal and creating on behalf of?

If the later , then please check and ensure that your customer request type field is populated with the correct request type. If this field is empty, no notification is sent to the customer.

You can automate this using the automation addon in Jira

• When issue created
• IF: Customer Request Type is empty
• Then: Set a specific customer request type matching the issue type.

Check this and let us know please. Especially how they create issues and if the mentioned field is empty.

All right, thanks. As an agent, I used the "Create" button on the web UI. Found it out now. It was a authorization problem. I used as issue type the "Incident" on which the user has no permission (In hindsight quite logical :-D ).

Now I created another ticket with "support request". It worked!

Thanks anyway for your time :-)
