Assembla FAQ and Documentation

Introduction

The Email2TicketsGateway provides three features:

• Reply by email to ticket alerts and post the reply as a comment
• Create new tickets by email.
• Edit ticket fields by email.

The email address to send emails and security settings can be found on the Ticket Settings page, at the bottom.

Configuration

To change permissions or disable email to tickets, select the “Settings” tab on the tickets tool, and find the “Email Gateway” panel.

Simple Mode

Adding a comment to a ticket

Reply to the ticket email alert or send an email to “<space_url_name>+<ticket_number>@tickets.assembla.com”
The content of the email will be posted as a comment

Eg. If you send an email to breakout+5@tickets.assembla.com, the content of the email will be added to ticket 5 in the breakout space.

Creating a new ticket

You should send an email to: “<space_url_name>@tickets.assembla.com”
The subject of your email will become the summary and the content of your email will become the description.

If you want to provide specific values to some fields when creating or editing a ticket, you can use the following templates in your email.

Description:
Email to ticket gateway will allow people to be more productive in less time. Every user now is dealing everyday

do everything with emacs: edit code, read email/news, one program to rule most daily developer activity.
