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

  1. Create an automation rule that triggers when a work items are created.

  2. Add a conditional that checks:

    1. User condition

      • User = Assignee

      • Check to perform = is

      • Criteria = Empty

    2. User condition

      • User = User who triggered the event

      • Check to perform = is in role

      • Criteria = <Roles that can be assigned work items>

  3. If the above conditions are met, add an Assign work item action and select User who triggered the event.
