Reject issues automatically

Burkhard Voss August 23, 2018

Hi,

Is it possible to reject issues automatically in the folowing case:

An employee writes an email to person.xxx@qqq.com and put our helpdesk (helpdesk@qqq.com) in "CC". The employee just wanted to inform us.

We don´t want that our Jira creates an issue if someone puts our helpdesk in "CC". If someone wants to create a ticket he/she should sent an email directly to helpdesk@qqq.com.

Thanks and Kind Regards

Mathias

Hello @Burkhard Voss - It is also possible to do the filtering you desire during email delivery.  A pre-delivery processing rule could discard any message CC'd to the helpdesk address thus it would never require any Jira handling.

Hello Burkhard,

The behavior you mentioned is intended by the application since the Service Desk Support e-mail should only be used to receive Support requests on JIRA, that's why this e-mail doesn't even have an accessible mailbox.

In fact, it was not working like this a while ago and the behavior was reported and fixed as a bug:

Email CC'd to Service Desk email or a group doesn't get created as issue

You can vote for the feature request below in order to provide the functionality to configure the email Handler of JIRA SD:

Allow configuration of Service Desk default mail handler

Hello,

That´s to bad. I will vote for the feature and hope for the best.

Kind Regards
