Send email when issue is created automatically

Hi all,

 

When I parameterize that an issue is created automatically (in the automotion tab), then I have configured that an email is sent to the assignee. In the audit log it always appears that there is an error in sending the email for the following reason:

"As there is no issue present, cannot get the value of the field:
assignee
Could not send email, the 'To' address field is empty. If you have referenced a field it may be empty."
How can I solve this, as I the issue has been created with its corresponding assignee?

Hi @Teresa Ruiz-Rico Gómez ,

Is the ticket being auto-assigned to anyone as soon as it is created ? Or atleast before the rule is run ?

The issue is created and it is assigned to a specific person always.

Hi @Teresa Ruiz-Rico Gómez ,

1. How is the ticket being assigned to specific users ?
Is it by automation rule OR project default settings OR Components lead ?

Seems rule is running before the ticket gets assigned to the Assignee.

Hi @Teresa Ruiz-Rico Gómez ,

As informed earlier, the rule is triggered before the ticket is being assigned. Even I was able to reproduce the issue.

Workaround:

Add a JQL condition in Scheduled issues trigger
i.e. Project = <Your Project>

Create Component "FOR EACH: Create a Branch"  --> Branch rule/ Related issues --> Send Email.

Hi @Teresa Ruiz-Rico Gómez 

I suggest, create different rules for daily and weekly scheduled jobs. It would be easy for you to identify and check the audit logs in future.

Do you have a JQL statement in your Scheduled trigger part? Can you share that?

No, this is my schedule part:

Okay, let's try putting a Branch between the last two actions. Use Most recently created issue for the Branch type. 

Then move the Send Email action under the branch. 

I am assuming that in the Create issue action you are setting the value of the assignee.

Sorry, use Current Issue instead of most recently created. And don't forget to move the Sent email action underneath the branch.
