Please let me know how to make the notifications sent from Jira service desk to be marked as "High Importance" . 

For example: When a Incident ticket is created with Priority High, the notification email to the assignee or watchers should be sent by High Importance marked.

Hi guys.

It seems to send emails with a "high priority" flag it is enough to add the header "X-Priority" with the value of "1" (The most important). Info is taken from here http://www.chilkatsoft.com/p/p_471.asp

P.S. Email is sent like that:

import com.atlassian.jira.mail.Email;
...
final Email email = new Email(emailAddress);
email.setSubject(emailSubject);
email.setBody(getBody(template, context));
email.setMimeType("text/html");
email.addHeader("X-Priority", "1");
ComponentAccessor.getMailQueue().addItem(new SingleMailQueueItem(email));

This is sad to hear. I couldn't set this either and it is hard to search anything in this topic. This is why I have set Jira automation, to send notification on Teams Channel if something important will happen.

We use "Automation for Jira" Addon for this exact task - the automation checks new tickets for keywords and adds labels to the ticket and escalates it up the work flow - additionally the latest updates to the addons make it so easy to use that my project leads are able to configure it without the need of an admin.
