Want to create a rule that will edit a custom field only when an incident is created via email

[AJ Greiner]

Hello everyone. 

I created a custom field labeled contact type and want to create an automation rule to set that field to email each time someone sends in an email to our instance. Is that possible? Thanks,

Hi @AJ Greiner

Yes you can. Use a jql condition and use the following info to help you differentiate between the channels: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Service-Management/how-do-i-know-issue-is-created-through-portal-or-restful-api-or/qaq-p/825154

So I can use a jql condition in my automation? I am new to all of this and learning as I build. 

Thanks.
