Users are not notified of issues/comments created via Email

      NOTE: This bug report is for JIRA Server. Using JIRA Cloud? See the corresponding bug report.

      Summary

      Users in JIRA are not notified of issues or comments created via email, even if they should. Same users are notified of issues or comments to issues if they are created in UI. We've been able to replicate this consistently in clean instances.

      Environment

      JIRA Cloud, version: 1000.656.2 (not available in Affects Version/s field)

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a ticket via email using User A (with access) - make sure User B is notified for 'Issue Created'
      2. Add User B as watcher to the ticket - make sure that watcher are notified for 'Comment created'
        • This is an example, we could also replicate this by assigning the ticket to User B, instead
      3. Add a comment to the ticket via UI (comment 1)
      4. As User A send a comment to this ticket via email (comment 2). You can use the notification from comment 1.

      Expected Results

      User B is notified for issue creation and both comment 1 and comment 2.

      Actual Results

      User B is only notified on comment 1.

      Notes

      This is very similar to this bug:
      https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-63582

      However, that one is for JIRA Server and for Outlook, so I'm not sure if they are related.

      Workaround

      From jtillett916844748:

      a workaround would be to create a filter to look at issues created in the past 15 minutes and create a subscription to fire every 15 minutes. Dirty, but it's something.

            Hi ialexeyenko, I am not sure if you are able to pick up the Cloud fix because there were multiple changes to emails sending functionality for Vertigo, but here are fix PRs:

            I'd recommend talking to bkelley@atlassian.com who implemented majority of email changes for Vertigo if you need a context behind these fixes. Thanks

            We are experiencing the same issues per JRA-63582, but we are running on premise JIRA server 7.2.0.  I don't see this issue listed in bug fixes for 7.3.  Is there a fix for on prem?

            The issue with email notifications not sent on adding issue comments through email is resolved now. The fix is available for all customers.

            Looks like the email notifications aren't going out right away...there are some delays in some cases. I'm assuming this is still being worked on? An official update would be nice.

            I think this may be fixed - but I'm waiting on an update to this ticket. I've tested various scenarios (submitting ticket via email, via JIRA platform, commenting via email/platform) and we've received notifications. 

            Please provide a confirmation if this has been fixed?

            Yes, this is greatly affecting our turn around on tickets and customers are noticing. If it helps to research it, only our 2 newest JIRA users are affected. Everyone else, created earlier are ok and receiving notifications.

            Hi guys,

            you might not be aware but this bug has critical effects on some cloud customers as they handle their first level support (or similar) with their clients via JIRA and not getting notifications about new tickets results in slow response times thus broken SLAs.

            We do have one customer of this case at the moment and I can see their frustration with this bug. Please fix this asap.

             

            Kind regards,

            Chris

            We are experiencing this as well. So far, only 2 users on 2 tickets have been affected. The tickets were created via email, and the comments are also being created via email. Watchers and assignees are not notified of new comments.

            I am definitely seeing non-notification on both comments and creates using JIRA OnDemand.

            Not sure if this helps but on the Ticket I submitted outside of this one to JIRA I asked the resolution time frame... The following is the answer I received.

            Hi, Kari.

            There's no public ETA at the moment, but the fix is already merged and it will de deployed to the staging environment tomorrow, so the prod environment should be getting this the next day, that is by Thursday or Friday.

            Thank you Jeff. The workaround works. Mine fires every 5 minutes. The notification is not pretty but at least it's something.

            Atlassian guys what will it take for you to fix this ASAP?

            I also created a custom event, and that event is not firing on issues created via email either. It appears that the root cause is triggered events not firing on issues created from email. With the time of this correlating to the release of the ability to easily create tickets from AGILE boards, I would say the bug is in the issue creation code stemming from the new feature. 

            Can anyone confirm if the notifications fire when you do a quick create from a board?

            You all haven't learned that Atlassian doesn't care one little bit about their cloud customers?  They talk a good game about trying to build their cloud services, but any time there is an issue with cloud products they don't bother to help.  See the many year old JIRA ticket about getting CNAME's for cloud products; they don't care.

            This is far more important than a High issue.  This is a blocker/critical/firm breaking.  

            We can no longer count on JIRA to help us run our business.  The business workflows we have built for our firm are now broken, and we will move many of them away from JIRA since JIRA cloud is no longer dependable.

            This is a crucial bug of enormous import.
