Yes I would also recommend going with Automation for Jira as said by @Italo Qualisoni [e-Core]

Hi @eric.kim ,

I would recommend you to use Automation for JIRA (this app has been acquired by Atlassian and it's built-in now in Cloud).

You can create an automation by  going in your Project Settings -> Project Automation(in the left area)

You can start by looking this tutorial to get started with this powerful tool: Automation for Jira 101: Tips & Tricks to get started!

Hi @eric.kim 

Follow the below steps to auto-assign tickets based on Request Type.

• Go to your service desk's Project Settings > Request types and click Edit fields 
• Click +Add a field and select the field Assignee from the list
• Once the field is added, click on the Hide option for the field
• Type the name of the agent that you want to auto-assign whenever a request of this type is created.

Please refer to this link.

Hope it helps you!
