Get started and configure the recipient

Add the post function Send email post function to the Create transition in your Incident Management workflow. Keep the Basic configuration. To ensure the project lead is notified of newly created incidents, add them as a recipient by Select recipient → Add Field containing users → Project lead. 

Define the email subject

Attention: New incident of %{issue.cf10049.name}  

In the subject line, we used the field code for the Affected System field, which has the ID 10049 in our example. Adding the .name suffix retrieves the asset’s name instead of its key, allowing the project lead to directly identify the affected system.

Set the email body 

You can choose to send the email in either plain text or HTML format. The following example, which you can adapt to your needs, is defined in HTML. If you want to use this example, ensure that the Email Format parameter is set to HTML.

    Hi there,
</p>
  
<p>
 A new incident <a href="%{system.baseUrl}/browse/%{issue.key}" target="_bank">%{issue.key}</a> has been created. Here, the system %{issue.cf10049.name} is affected. The Application Owner of this system is %{userDisplayName(getAttributeFromAsset(%{issue.cf10049}, "Application Owner"))}

</p>
  
  
<p>
    Cheers

To insert information about the Application Owner, use the getAttributeFromAsset() function. In this example, it returns the Application Owner asset attribute for the affected system specified in the issue as an Atlassian account ID. Since this ID is not easily readable, you can use the userDisplayName() function to convert the ID into a readable name.
