Automatically assign a work item to the agent who raised it on behalf of a customer in JSM Cloud
Platform Notice: Cloud Only - This article only applies to Atlassian apps on the cloud platform.
Summary
Front desk agents who raise work items or requests on behalf of customers to capture their needs during face-to-face interactions should ensure these work items are assigned to themselves.
Solution
Create an automation rule that triggers when a work items are created.
Add a conditional that checks:
User condition
User = Assignee
Check to perform = is
Criteria = Empty
User condition
User = User who triggered the event
Check to perform = is in role
Criteria = <Roles that can be assigned work items>
If the above conditions are met, add an Assign work item action and select User who triggered the event.
