New issue created notification to specific email address

[Mike Gross]

We are migrating in from Salesforce.  With Salesforce, I'd have it send an email notification to a Teams channel's email address to notify our team when a case was created.  I was playing around in Project Settings > Notifications looking for a way to do this.  It seems it doesn't let you just add an email address, you can only add a person. So I thought I'd make a dummy user with this email address, but then I believe it will consume an agent license.  Anyone have an idea for a workaround to accomplish this?

In other words, any time a case is created, I want it to send an email notification to abc123xyz@teamsemail.biz which will pop up in our Teams channel on our computers and smartphones.  But I'm looking for a way to do this without utilizing an agent license.

Thanks in advance.  I'm thinking something must exist for this, but I'm having trouble finding it.

You can set up a webhook in an automation rule to do this.  Here is an example of one that I have set up.

Agreed, I'd use Automations. There's also just an option in Automations to send a basic email as well if you don't need anything too fancy.

Hello @Mike Gross ,

If you must send an email, then you can use Power Scripts addon for it.

With Power Scripts you can create a script that works as post-function when the issue is created and send emails to any recipient that you desired, either is internal to your directory or an external email account.

I hope it helps.

You can use automation to do this. It would trigger on issue create and then use the send Slack notification to notify the channel that a new request has been created. Here is an example of one that we use:

Gotcha, thanks. I'm guessing they'd have a similar option for Microsoft Teams. I'll look into it.  Thanks again!

 I agreed with what @Mikael Sandberg stated.  Here are some reference links on using Automation Rules for Jira to setup automation rule process in case you don't have them -
