Creating tickets via email

[Paulo José]

When I'm having problems receiving calls coming by e-mail, I created an e-mail and configured it, but it's giving an error according to the attached print. The e-mail arrives in my box, but does not convert into a ticket.

Hello Paulo,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

The error message on the log means that the customer that is sending the email doesn't have permission/was not added to the project. 

There are two options to fix that:

1 - Manually add the customer to the project.

Go to Project > Customers > Add customers. After that, if they send an email again, the ticket will be created.

2 - Allow customers to create their own accounts. 

Using this option anyone that sends an email to your service desk will be automatically added to the project and the tickets will be created with no issue.

To do that, it's necessary to change two settings: 

Go to Project settings > Channels > Customer permissions (next-gen) or Project settings > Customer permissions (classic) and let the project open to anyone with an account on the site > Save.

After that, you can click on "Change the global settings" or go to Cog icon > Products > Under Jira Service Desk, click on Configuration.

On this page, you need to change "Can customers create their own accounts?" to "Yes, by signing up or sending a request".

Please, give it a try and let us know how it goes.

Regards,
Angélica

I had the same problem.

There is a workaround:

- Reset the configured Jira-email back to default: support@[yourcompany].atlassian.net

- Create a new Email address in your companys email server f.e. issues@[yourcompany].com and forward/redirect all mails recieved by that a to the default jira email. Works for me at least.
