# Edit an Issue by Email

This page describes how you can send an email to a specific alias in order to
edit an existing issue.

## Before you begin

- Make sure your domain supports [SPF](https://support.google.com/a/answer/178723) and [DKIM](https://support.google.com/a/answer/174124). If your domain does not support them, [edit the issue using the Issue Tracker UI](https://developers.google.com/issue-tracker/guides/edit-issue-ui).

## Edit the issue

To edit a new issue by email:

1. Address the email to the appropriate issue.

   - If you are responding to an email notification from the issue, reply to
     the email, and the appropriate address will be automatically used.

   - If you are not responding to an email notification, use the address
     format:

     `buganizer-system+componentID+issueID@google.com`

     where `componentID` is the [ID number of the component](https://developers.google.com/issue-tracker/concepts/components) that contains
     the issue, and `issueID` is [ID number for the issue](https://developers.google.com/issue-tracker/concepts/issues).
2. Include in the email at least one of the following:

   - **Message body**: Text in the body of the email appears in a comment
     after the subject line.

   - **Attachments**: Attachments to the email will be added as attachments
     in the issue.

   Any of these pieces that you include are grouped into a new comment on the
   issue.
