FAQ

Questions about Jira + Gmail.

How do I create a Jira issue from a Gmail message?
Gmail Email Received with label "@jira" → Jira Create Issue with title = email subject, body = email content + sender email. Useful for capturing internal bug reports from email.
Can I notify via Gmail when a Jira issue is assigned?
Jira covers this natively. The pair adds value when you need custom email formatting (e.g., for stakeholders without Jira), or when you want to send to a distribution list rather than just the assignee.
How do I route different Gmail labels to different Jira projects?
One workflow per Gmail label, each routing to its Jira project key. Or one workflow with a Switch node on label name. "bug-report" → BUG project, "feature-req" → PROD project.
Can I AI-classify Gmail before creating Jira issues?
Yes. Insert Claude/OpenAI step. Classify as bug, feature request, support question, spam. Only create Jira issues for bugs/features. Support questions route elsewhere; spam goes to trash.
How do I link Gmail thread to Jira issue?
Include the Gmail thread URL (https://mail.google.com/...) in the Jira issue body. After Create Issue, set a Gmail label like "filed-to-jira" so the workflow doesn't fire again.
Can I email the Gmail sender when their reported Jira issue closes?
Yes. Store the sender email on the Jira issue. On Issue Closed with "shipped" label, Gmail Send Email to the sender confirming the fix. Closes the loop with the original reporter.
