I have an external job system that emails jobs through to JIRA in the following format.
Created by: username

External Incident # 14734
Summary: text field
Details: large text field
I want to get JIRA to read the content of these emails and update custom fields in JIRA with the content above. Unfortunately I am not so good with coding custom handlers so I was wondering what other methods you would suggest to do this? I was hoping it could be done in workflow using the update custom fields, but there doesnt seem to be any way to read the email content.
Thanks in advance!
Hi Tony,
You can also check the JETI (JIRA E-mail This Issue) addon.

And you can find here a manual, so I think you can do it without coding deeply custom mail handlers.

You're going to need code, no matter what the approach. If you don't do "parse body of email and set up emails" in the handler, you'll need something that will detect "issue created" and manipulate it later (I wouldn't try the workflow, I'd use a listener)
But, your best bet might simply be JEMH - this is one of the use cases it was written for - https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.javahollic.jira.jemh-ui
