Turn bug-report emails into Jira issues with priority from the subject
Watches a bugs mailbox, grades each report into Highest, High or Medium from keyword rules, files it as a Jira issue with that priority and an inbound-email label, then replies in-thread with the real.
A Gmail Trigger narrows to the bugs alias and defect-shaped subjects. A Set node trims the summary to Jira's field limit and builds a single lowercase haystack from subject plus body so the routing rules are written once. A Switch grades that text into three named outputs — Highest for outage, data-loss, payment and security wording, High for crashes and hard blockers, and a Medium fallback so nothing is ever left unrouted. Each branch sets a priority name and all three converge on one Jira node, which creates the issue with the reporter, the body, the graded priority and an inbound-email label. A Gmail Reply then answers the original message with the real issue key. Both external calls retry and route failures to an error rail that names the report and announces it on Discord.
Key benefits
- ✓Bug mail becomes a Jira issue in under a minute, with a priority a human can audit
- ✓The reporter gets the real ticket key in-thread, which removes the 'any update?' email
- ✓Grading rules are plain keyword conditions a support lead can edit without code
- ✓One Jira node for all three priorities, so there is one place to change the project key
- ✓Ships with three pinned reports — an outage, a crash and a typo — that exercise all three branches
Use cases
- →Teams whose customers report bugs by email but whose engineers live in Jira
- →Support leads who want consistent triage instead of priority set by whoever copies it over
- →Agencies filing client-reported defects into a shared Jira project
- →Anyone who has found a severity-one bug sitting unread in a shared mailbox
Integrations

The template's actual node layout and connections. Node parameters and credential slots unlock with the download.
What's inside (10 nodes)
A look at the node types this workflow uses. No purchase required — full parameters and credentials are yours after you buy.
From download to running in 3 steps
- 1Import. In n8n, open Workflows → menu → “Import from File” and pick the downloaded JSON.
- 2Connect. Add your own credentials on the app nodes - n8n highlights exactly which ones need them.
- 3Activate. Run it once to test, then toggle Active. The automation is live.
What you'll learn
Core levelA compact production shape: validation and error handling without extra machinery.
- •Moving data between Gmail, Jira and Discord in a single run
- •Adding retries and an explicit error path to external calls
- •Testing against pinned sample data before connecting anything real
Every node carries its own documentation on the canvas, plus notes explaining why the architecture was built this way, a credential setup guide, troubleshooting, and three practice exercises. Sample data comes pinned to the trigger, so you can hit Execute and watch data flow before connecting a single account.
Common questions
What exactly do I get?
The complete, ready-to-import n8n workflow as a JSON file, delivered instantly after payment. Import it into your own n8n (cloud or self-hosted), add your credentials, and it runs.
How do I import it into n8n?
In n8n, open Workflows, click the three-dot menu, choose “Import from File”, and select the downloaded JSON. Then connect your own app credentials on the highlighted nodes.
Do I need anything else for it to work?
You need your own n8n instance and accounts/credentials for the apps this workflow connects to (Gmail, Jira, Discord). No coding is required.
What if it doesn't work for me?
If the file is faulty, won't import, or isn't as described, contact us within 7 days and we'll fix it or refund you - see our refund policy.
Can I modify or resell it?
You can freely adapt and use it in your own or your clients' projects. Reselling or redistributing the template file itself is not permitted.
