Integrate with Autotask AEM
This article highlights a new alerting feature that's natively available in Jira Service Management which is gradually rolling out to some Jira Service Management Cloud customers. It may not yet be visible or available on your site.
What does the integration offer?
Jira Service Management has an email integration with Autotask AEM. Use the integration to send Autotask AEM alerts to Jira Service Management's API with detailed information. Jira Service Management acts as a dispatcher for Autotask AEM alerts, determines the right people to notify based on on-call schedules– notifies email, text messages (SMS), phone calls and iOS & Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until the alert is acknowledged or closed.
How does the integration work?
When an alert is created in Autotask AEM, an alert is also created in Jira Service Management automatically through the integration.
Set up the integration
Autotask AEM is an email integration. Setting it up involves the following steps:
Add an Autotask AEM integration in Jira Service Management
Configure the integration in Autotask AEM
Add an Autotask AEM integration
If you're using the Free or Standard plan in Jira Service Management, you can only add this integration from your team’s operations page. To access the feature through Settings (gear icon) > Products (under JIRA SETTINGS) > OPERATIONS, you need to be on Premium or Enterprise plan.
Adding an integration from your team’s operations page makes your team the owner of the integration. This means Jira Service Management only assigns the alerts received through this integration to your team.

Go to your team’s operations page.
On the left navigation panel, select Integrations and then Add integration.
Run a search and select “Autotask AEM”.
