Turn incoming emails into Jira tickets automatically

Reads incoming emails, understands the request with AI, and creates a Jira ticket with subtasks automatically.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per each subtask ai identifies.

The problem it solves

Requests come in over email and someone has to read them, decide what needs to happen, and manually create a ticket in Jira. That extra step means requests sit in an inbox before any work actually starts.

Who it fits

A support, IT, or operations team that receives work requests by email.

How it works

  1. The system checks the inbox for new emails every few minutes
  2. It pulls the full content of each new email
  3. An AI reads the email and figures out what tasks need to happen
  4. A main Jira ticket is created, with any subtasks split out and added
What you get

Requests turned into tickets with subtasks included

Incoming requests become a Jira ticket complete with subtasks already broken out, so your team can start working the moment it lands.

What you get

A new Jira ticket, with subtasks already broken out, created directly from the incoming email.

What you need

A Gmail account and a Jira account with permission to create issues.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
