      Product Update - 28 October 2022

      Hello everyone,

      Thanks a lot for your feedback and patience with waiting for this feature.

      I'm happy to share that we have finished rolling out to 100% and now you can resend invites to your customer accounts!

      Note: for those customers using Release tracks, the feature will available depending on your track options.

      Cheers,

      Michelle

      Summary

      When a customer already exists in a Service Desk, if I re-invite them using an email address, nothing happens. It will be silently ignored.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Go to the 'Customers' page in a Service Desk
      2. Invite a customer, by clicking 'Invite', enter an email and click 'Send invites'
        • The invite will be sent
      3. Do the same process again with the same email address

      Expected Results

      Either:

      • A new invite email is send (if this process was done twice, is most likely because the first one didn't work) or warn the user that a customer with that email already exists and no email will be sent.
      • No invite is sent, but I receive a message informing me this user is already a customer, but would I like to resend the invitation to this Service Desk

      Workaround

      Depending on the type of invitation:

      • The initial invitation containing the link to set a password will only ever be sent once, when the user is initially created. After this time, the Forgot password link can be used.
      • Invitations to different Service Desks send a new invite email each time, and these are what can be re-sent.

            Thanks Jira for working on this. You can add this as a "Resend Invite/Rest Password" link. This helps to address both the use cases.

            This feature of being able to re-send Welcome emails to our customers is very important and helps us be more efficient in supporting our customers. We have just newly implemented Jira Service Management and there are a lot of new customers that are needing this especially if have issues accessing Jira. Please put top priority on this request. Thanks!

            Hi all,

            I add my experience on this topic: I noticed that while sending out invitations, sometimes the links are kinda broken or expired even if clicked moments after receival. Without considering the fact that we can't be sure that all users really received the invitation mail.

            I described the issue here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Service-Management/Invitation-link-expired-after-few-minutes-or-wrongly-generated/qaq-p/1701180

            It's clear that since there are a lot of factors that could block the user in this registration process, the possibility to quickly resend a fresh new link could limit the problems in managing these ambiguous situations with the customers.

            We are having an issue when a customer doesn't respond quickly enough to the initial invite email. By the time they get to it, the link has expired instructing them to request a new link from an administrator or log in. Here is the direct quote "Something bad happened The invitation link has expired. Please request a new link from an administrator or log in. I am not able to send them a new link. Deleting them and adding them back doesn't replicate a new invite link.

            Hey all, 

            We are doing some investigation on this issue, and are keen to get your feedback. 

            We would like to better understand the scenarios where you are needing to reset an invite, and learn about you experience with workarounds (e.g. re-adding the customer to the project to resend an invite).

            If you are open to a chat, please find a time in my calendar that works for you.

            I have experienced your pain too. I now learned the only option is to invite users and then email them manually and tell them to log in to the portal (send them the link) and ask them to reset password. Embarrassing but works.

            I am  a new customer  and  beyond frustrated,    about 1/2  our users   didn't get the email   and  nothing is sent to them when  I re-add them.    I  know this because NO EMAIL  from  the system shows up in email trace for the people who are not getting the email.     We joined Jira to integrate with reftab  and  the fact that  we are having such a hard time getting users registered is beyond frustrating.     

             

            Nothing on the Near future  roadmap?   Doing very little research shows that  this has been a need for many years.  Please define near future.

            This is a joke.  Your product managers must be totally out of touch.  Please fix the simple things that everyone relies on before adding new bells and whistles that only some will use.

            Hi everyone,

            Thank you for your votes and feedback on this issue. In the interests of being clear and transparent; although being a future roadmap consideration, this feature is not on our near term roadmap.

            I will look to update it again in roughly 6 months time.

            Hi Jira,

            I have just wasted 2 hours of my day trying to figure out how to resend a customer an invite to our Jira helpdesk. Why is administration in Jira so hard!?

            There should be a simple 'Resend Invite' button in a customers profile or next to their name.

            The timeframe before invites expire should be configurable by the company using Jira.

            AHA administration is better than Jira, another Atlassian product with much more common sense admin.

            A very simple resend option on the customer organization page for each email that hasn't completed their registration that sends a new password would solve this problem.  It is beyond time to add this functionality.

            Please accelerate this to the top of your priority list/backlog as it is unacceptable for a product like Jira Service Desk which is about customer support and such basic function not present.

            Its type should not be a suggestion either.

            I sent a customer an invite. He didn't activate it within the 24 hours the link was valid. He is now unable *to even get a password reset. I *should be able to issue him a renewed invite. While fixing this feature won't accelerate sales, it is vital to your customers’ relationship with their customers. Please accelerate this to the top of your priority list!

            As far as I know it is not the first ticket with the request for implementation such feature in Jira. I've found at least few tickets, which are closed now, where users were asking about it. I think they should be posted here as well (as a linked issues). For example:

            https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/ID-83

            https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-32489

             

            These are only examples, there may be more such cases.

            Someone should sum up all votes on these issues.

            This is very important feature. Why Jira Cloud doesn't have that? It is unaceptable.

            If user don't receive an invitation or link in invitation expire I don't have any other option to deliver this invitation to him once again. It is common that user doesn't click on invitation link on time. It is totally insane.

            I want to invite 600 customers in the near future and I don't want to know what happen if for instance only 10 % of them won't receive an email or forget to click on invitation link.

            I will be explaining all the time what to do to get to our support system. 

            Please, we need it so badly...

            The issue was created 4 years ago and is still not implemented? 

            Just to add my input - it is a must; it has to be very easy to re-invite and existing customer.

            This isn't a SUGGESTION this is a BUG. When client ain't gonna receive the invitation there is no way to send it again. And instead of focusing on working with the client you has to explain him how to reclaim the account using password recovery. Not to mention how it looks in the eyes of the client that we are using software that gives them only ONCE chance to register. This is highly irresponsible for a company to ignore the problem for 4 years. If I would know that that's how support from Atlassian looks like I would think twice about working with Jira. You can be sure that I will not recommend Atlassian products to anyone until something will change with the way you treat issues like this.

            This feature is a must for any platform to invite a customer to join. Except Jira Cloud, as Admin I can resend an invitation email at anytime such as using App Center, TestFlight etc. to remind the customer. This is simply not acceptable for any company having customer-focus in mind especially this ticket was created in 2015.

            We've run into this several times. It becomes increasingly desirable since some ISPs will flag invites as spam.
