Delay in send email automation action

Norman Goh May 2, 2022

Is there a setting (default or configurable) that affects when a send email automation action happens?

When testing a new automation the email doesn't appear in reporter/recipient inbox until about 30 minutes. Not sure what's causing this delay.

Automation notifications also seems delayed so I wonder if it's just a slow day?

Hello @Norman Goh ,

There is no incidents reported here https://status.atlassian.com/ . all are looking good and operational.

If the problem still continues, you can raise a support request.
If the reporter receiving normal emails from one to one without any delays. then we can assume that there is a problem with the emails from Automation or Jira.

Hey Norman,

Unsure on the type of automation you're looking at, however the email delay may be caused by Jira's email batching function (which according to https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Is-the-Batch-Email-Notifications-feature-available-in-Jira-Cloud/qaq-p/1031512 is possibly relevant for Cloud).

Batching means users don't get an email for every action (assign V comment V transition), instead the system queues these events for a period of time then sends a single digest email

 

Unsure if this is the cause of your issue, but something that feels it might be worth looking at
