How to create automation to send email to the reporter who's the assignee of the ticket?

[Katrina Sarmiento]

Hello all, I have been trying to create automation where when an issue is assigned it will send an email to the reporter to whom it was assigned. But the issue is it's not displaying the name. 

I have created this flow:

When the issue is created -> assign the ticket to Person A/B/C -> send an email to a reporter to whom the ticket was assigned to.

The assigning part works but when it comes to email it does not display the name of the assignee. I have tried these smart values: {{issue.assignee.displayName}} and {{assignee.displayName}}. Btw, calling the name of the reporter does work.


"

Hello {{issue.reporter.displayName}},

This is a confirmation email that your request {{issue.key}} - {{issue.summary}} has been received and is assigned to {{assignee.displayName}}.

"

I have also tried creating another automation when an issue is assigned it will send an email but it also does not work, even the automation when a ticket is updated. Can anyone help me?

Try to add Re-fetch Issue data action prior to email….

Re-fetch issue data

• Use smart values here: No

Refreshes smart values with the latest field values.

By default, the {{issue}} reference is not updated during rule execution, and contains the same values as when the rule originally triggered.

@Katrina Sarmiento , we’re you able to resolve with the re-fetch?
