How to generate acknowledgements for create and comment to the sender only
Scenario
By default, JEMHC's email notification notifies users showing the issue information, this could be too much information for your regular customer. You may like to send a simple acknowledgement to your remote user in response to an email that created or commented issue through JEMHCloud. This page will show you how to create simple acknowledgements in each scenario.
Simple acknowledgement to the creator of an issue via email (Issue Created Event/Template Set)
In order to send a simple response to a user who has created an email, you need to create a custom template. We will base this example on the JIRA Theme.
Go to Notifications → Template Set → Create and set a name (Simple ACK Issue Created) select JIRA theme, Issue Created template set and copy from the Issue Create default.
Change the HTML body template. The full script is below in this document. Note: #if($jemhUtils.isIssueCreatedByRecipientViaEmail($context)) does the trick to change the template if the recipient is the creator of the issue.
Update the Email Notification Mapping setting the new Template Set (Simple ACK Issue Created) in Issue Create Template Set
Verify with a Test Case that the Issue Create via Email → ACK notification to the creator works
After running the test case, the issue should have been created. You can see the Issue Created event in Auditing→Events
Once the event is processed the ACK email should be sent. The creator of the issue (fboucquez@gmail.com) will receive the special simple Acknowledgements Notification
