Diagnosis

Actual Configuration:

Customer Notification email

Here, the email signature is different from what is added to the Customer Notification.

A Jira Service Desk email confirming receipt of a request. It states an initial investigation will be free, but further work may be billed.  Links to view the request and manage notifications are included.  Charging details are also provided.

Cause

Customer notifications can be configured for various events and customized as HTML, CSS, or plain text. Often, when notifications are updated, the changes are not reflected in Language Support, which manages translations for the project's languages.

Users receive outdated notifications due to untranslated updates, based on their profile settings, leading to confusion.

  1. Navigate to the notifications in the JSM project > Notifications > Customer Notification.

  2. Check for the event you are facing this issue with, such as Request Created/Public Comment added, etc.

  3. Review the content in the section.

  4. Navigate to Language Support under Project Settings and scroll to Customer Notification.

  5. Click on the affected event, for example, Request Created.

  6. Here you see the data that is reflected in your notification.

  7. Compare the data from the Customer Notification section to the Language Support Section. Identify the difference, update, and save the translation.
