Set an specific assignee by mail handler

Oliver Schneeweiß September 3, 2019

Hello,

we have (so we thought) a really easy and simple problem:

Create an email handler and set an specific assignee and author by this handler.

First-Handler: set employee1@domain.com

Second-Handler: set employee2@domain.com

Project shall be the same.

 

I think, we've tried everything:

The Jira-own-handler cannot set an specific assignee.

So we've tried third-party-software, like jemh (seems to be very very expensive) and all the other mail-handlers for 10$.

But no solution could set the assignee, how we wanted.

 

But: That cannot be that hard.

 

Whats my fault? Whats my wrong thinking?

 

Can you help me?

 

Kind regards from Germany,
Oliver

First are you on cloud or server? 

In server the CC assignee should be enabled then assign a person by adding them to the CC field of the mail.

We have a server-solution.

 

The solution with the cc-line isn't practicable.

Jira receives emails from our customers and from us (we forward emails from our customers direct to jira). When we add our email-address to the cc-line, then we get all emails twice.

Is there no other solution?
