When a ticket is opened from an email, the agent responses are not being received by the customer

[Austin Tristan]

When a ticket is opened from an email, the agents responses on the ticket are not being received by the customer via email.

The confirmation email is received as well as when the status is updated, but when an agent clicks "reply to customer" and enters a note, the note does not appear to be sent out or received by the customer.

How can I get this to work properly?

Austin,

  Can you check the customer notifications.  https://support.atlassian.com/jira-service-management-cloud/docs/set-up-notifications-for-your-customers-and-team/  Check and make sure that the Public Comment Added is enabled.  You can get to the customer notifications by:

Next-Gen

1. Project Settings
2. Notifications
3. Customer Notifications

Classic Project

The Issue Commented section has:
- All Watchers
- Current Assignee
- Reporter

Yet the reporter is still not getting any email notification that a reply note has been made on the ticket, am I missing some other setting, perhaps with the outgoing mail? I am using a demo of JSM right now and System > Outgoing Mail section only has enable or disable fields.

You are looking at the notification scheme, please take a look at the customer notifications.  Is Public Comment enabled?

[Austin Tristan]

Thanks for clarifying, yes it is enabled. I was able to confirm that when a customer opens a ticket using an email sent from a Gmail account, the public comments are being received back at that email address, although, if a customer opens a ticket using Outlook, the initial ticket creation email is received, however, none of the public comment notifications are. Any idea what could be causing that to happen?

[Brant Schroeder]

So it sounds like notifications are working correctly on the application but could be a filtering issue.  When you say customers using outlook do not get responses on comments are these customers all from the same company or are from different companies using outlook?
