Subject: Proposal: Watch It Jira App for Improved Notification Management

Hi [Boss’s Name],

I hope this email finds you well. I recently discovered a Jira app called “Watch It” that I believe could significantly enhance our team’s notification management and overall workflow efficiency.

Key features that caught my attention:

  1. Customizable project watching:
    • Filter by component, issue type, priority, etc.
    • Focus on specific event types (e.g., comments, work logs, priority changes)
  2. Flexible notification delivery:
    • Send to Jira users, groups, or external email addresses
    • Display in dashboard gadgets or integrate via webhooks
  3. Smart notification management:
    • Batch multiple notifications to reduce email clutter
    • Automatically add watchers based on predefined conditions
  4. Enhanced user experience:
    • Add watchers directly from the Jira Create Issue page
    • Run timed trackers to report on issues meeting specific criteria

I believe implementing Watch It could help us:

  • Reduce notification overload
  • Ensure the right team members are informed at the right time
  • Improve our response time to critical issues
  • Customize our notification process to fit our specific workflow

Would you be open to exploring this further? I’d be happy to gather more information or arrange a demo if you’re interested.

I’m excited about the potential benefits this tool could bring to our team. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Best regards,
