Automatically responding to incoming emails on closed tickets

RobH July 13, 2018

We are running the server version of Jira and Service Desk. Our instance of Jira is only accessible by developers. We purchased the 'Email this issue' plug-in so developers could email users 'on the Jira ticket' without having to provide Jira access and therefore keep all communication in one place. This works well.

However, a couple of times now we have had instances where users have replied an email after the ticket is closed. These comments are just being ignored by the system.

I appreciate that there is one school of thought that we should allow tickets to re-open in this instance, but I do not subscribe to that, if a ticket is closed and we need to do more work, I would prefer people to create a new ticket.

The question - is there a way of detecting if an incoming email is directed at a closed ticket, and then automatically responding back to the user that this ticket is completed, if they need further work please log a new issue?

Thank you in advance
