If you’ve configured your instance to create issues through email requests, then this article explains how to automatically assign newly created issues(through email requests) to a specific user - based on keywords in email subject/email body - using Update Any Issue Field (JSU) post-function.
Instructions
Example use case : If the email has 'Dev' or 'QA' in the subject, the ticket has to be assigned to user1. If it has 'Deploy' or 'Prod', it goes to user2.
Edit the workflow that is associated with your project and issuetype.
Select the Create transition, select the Post Functions tab and click Add post function.
Select “Update Any Issue Field (JSU)” post-function and click Add
In this, add two Regular Expression pre-conditions : one for Dev and the other for QA and add the below regular expressions :
For Dev :^[\s\S]*Dev[\s\S]*$
For QA :
^[\s\S]*QA[\s\S]*$
Select "OR" in the pre-condition section. Select “True” under “Preconditions must be”.
Select the Assignee field and add the account id of user1 in the Field Value. Refer to the screenshot below :
Click “Add”.
Similarly, add another Update Any Issue Field (JSU) post-function on the Create transition for 'Deploy', 'Prod' and add the account id of user2 in the Field Value and publish the workflow.
If you want to verify the email body instead of subject, then replace Summary with Description in the Regular Expression pre-conditions.
Place these post-functions below “Creates the issue originally.” built-in post-function on the create transition.
It is recommended to test this scenario in a non-production environment, before implementing it in a production environment.
