Notice the summary of all the tickets are short(ish) and specific. The examples show succinct ticket summaries by saying “Need x” instead of “I would like to have x”, for example. Short ticket summaries allow our agents to quickly see what the issue is and assign the work to the right team AND also allows you to find what you’re looking for more easily.

Add a external email address to an existing ticket manually

When a customer opens a ticket in Jira using their personal email address, OR when a technician opens a ticket using the Jira ticket system, a customer is created in Jira using that personal email address automatically.

However in some cases you might want to add a customer to a ticket after the ticket has been created. If the email address is not already in the ticket system, you cannot simply add it as the reporter or a participant.

You must first manually create an entry in Jira

After about 10 seconds you can now add the email address into the participants or reporter field of a ticket.

titleWhen would I want to add a personal email address to a ticket?

This is usually required if the ticket is for email related issues.

  • If someone opens a ticket on behalf of someone else and you want to add the customer to the ticket.

  • If a student opens a ticket with their RRU account, but email forwarding is “off”. (The ticket updates will be sent to their RRU email account and they cannot access that account).
