Email Integration
Email Address
Notifications from Jiras should originate from the following email address:
jira@umontana.atlassian.net
We recommend adding this address to your Outlook safe-sender list so they are never filtered to your junk email folder. Please see the following Microsoft Support article for more information.
Add recipients of my email messages to the Safe Senders List - Microsoft Supoort
Email Notifications
You can control email notifications for your account. Go to the Personal Settings > Project and Issue Notifications page, or naviate there by opening the settings icon (gear icon in the upper-right), and selecting "Personal Jira Settings".
On the "Personal Settings" / "General" page, in the left menu open the "Projects and Issues" page.
Under the "Group notification emails together" section, you can use the drop-down menu to change how often emails are sent to you via grouping emails. The default setting is for "Every 3 minutes". UM IT ET / EIS recommends chaning this to "Every 30 minutes" or "Every 60 minutes" to reduce the total number of emails sent to you when you receive alot of emails from ET Jira Software or when you have alot of active issues.
Email Replies
The reply-to-Jira ticket integration now works! When you reply to a Jira issue, it should place your email as a comment on the Jira issue ticket.
Other Integrations
Other integrations are available including:
- Mobile App for iOS and Android

Additional information will be released as we evaluate and prepare to support these extensions.
