Create great-looking emails to match your company looks in the drag-and-drop template editor. Whether you need to include custom fields or non-issue fields, add some text to explain why a recipient is getting a notification, customize your email.
To send email notifications, you can use three types of email templates: Single Issue Template, Table Template, or Comment Template. You create a custom one as well. To set up your email template, go to your project settings, and click on the “NAFJC Templates“ tab, or configure one at the Global templates level.

Templates can have 3 types of scope
NAFJC Native - These are Templates that we created and can not be edited by a user.
Global - These are created by a Jira administrator and can be used in any project. They can not be edited by a project admin.
Project - These are created by a Project administrator and can only be used in the project in which they were created. An administrator can convert a templates from the Project Scope to the Global scope from the … menu in the Global templates page by clicking the Move to system template option.
Templates
We provide 3 out-of-the-box Templates. Use the Single Issue Template theme for a Jira (Core, Software, or Service Management Agent) notifications. The Table Template theme helps you show a list of notifications in one email. With the Comment Template, you can display an issue and its comment in the email notification. Customize any of these themes in the template editor to create the notification email you need.
Table Template. Use this type of default email template to notify recipients and provide the information on the long list of issues. An example of a customized “Table Template” email theme:
Single Issue Template. This theme is applied to include a one-issue notification. The email based on the Single Issue Template theme provides the user with the relevant information from the issue. An example of a customized “Issue Details” email template:
Comment Template. Send comment notifications that include the most relevant information in your email. Apply the Comment Template to your triggered notification. An example of a customized “Comment Template” email theme:
You can find all these template themes in the NAFJC Templates tab. To use the necessary template theme, click on the three dots next to the template theme you need to use and Duplicate. You’ll create a “Copy of….“ template. Open it, edit and save.
Block Section
To expand these pre-defined templates, you can add the following blocks to customize your emails.
Issue field. You can add the issue field block in pre-defined email templates or/and insert them into the text. In this case, the issue fields you inserted will be substituted with the related issue field's value. After you drop an issue field into the content-box, you should select it and go to the Settings to set up the Field Name.
Non-issue field. This field isn’t related to an issue but related to a notification. Use non-issue fields to add things like the recipients full name into an email message, email footer, or any other custom text block. Please do not add any non-issue fields to the issue block.
Loop block. If you need to iterate the values of some fields, add them to the Loop block. We do not recommend using the Loop block with prepared email templates.

Issue table. Similar to a Single issue, Issue Table but makes it easier to read the list of Jira or JSD issues in one email for the recipient. Configure issue fields depending on your notification requirements.
