I have jira tickets that Im exploring on how to have as part of workflow (e.g. ticket was closed/resolved), an email is sent with specific ticket content (summary, content, attachments..etc). Is there any free solutions?
The basic documentation for this you will find here:

Does anyone know if it is possible to send out an email to users and Cc a GitLab issue so that the email will show up in the comments section of the issue?
I know other applications have the ability to do this. Trello for example has an email that can be included. MS Teams has the same thing where an email address can be provided to include the contents of the email in a Teams thread.
If this is possible can someone provide me with an example of how that email address should be constructed?
Thanks.
Once Jira user create a ticket, there will be a notification email send to the reporter and assignee, and the mail subject might be "[Jira]".
I know we can modify the related template files to customise the subject, but it takes more effort to do that. Is there a UI for Jira administrator or user conveniently edit the email template?
If you only want to be able to update the [Jira] prefix in the subject of the notification emails then you can do that in the "Outgoing Mail" configuration screen. Just enter the "Prefix" that you would like.
Any other kind of customisation is not possible within JIRA by default. There is an open feature request to add an editor for the email templates: JRA-7266
There are a few add-ons that do provide functionality to configure notifications and templates in a more flexible way though. Some popular ones are Enterprise Mail Handler (available both for cloud and JIRA server) and Email This Issue (only for JIRA server).
I'm trying to change the subject of email alerts generated by TFS 2015. So far, I figured out, where to find the template of the email body at
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 14.0\Application Tier\TFSJobAgent\Transforms\1033\BuildCompletedEvent.xsl
However, I still got no clue, where the subject of the email is set. Can anyone provide a hint?
Thanks in advance
We can only customize the format for TFS email alerts by default. The event service uses the .xsl and the plaintextXsl files to transform the XML data for an event into an e-mail message. Edit the .xsl file to get a different format for the email notification.
The content of the emails that are issued is automatically generated from the TeamFoundation.xsl file and BuildCompletedEvent.xsl. Modifying the TeamFoundation.xsl file is not recommended. You need to subscribe to the Event Service and create your own e-mails as DaveShaw mentions.
It is not allowed to modify email subject via modifying the email template in TFS2015.
You have to subscribe to TFS events via API, this method gives the option to set email subject you want. Check this blog for further information: http://geekswithblogs.net/BobHardister/archive/2013/07/24/tfs-2012-api-create-alert-subscriptions.aspx (The blog is written for TFS2012, applies to TFS2015 as well)
I am trying to configure Jira from email section of email notification. I need to add assignee fullname and status of the issue in the from section.
If anyone knows how to accomplish this task please let me know.
JIRA deliberately sends email from one address so that replies can have their text added as comments. If you sent email as the actual assignee then email would go only to that person, making JIRA less useful as a shared tool.

My Jira 4.3.2 instance sends emails from jira#{domain}.com. When user, for example Todd, makes a comment on an issue, I would like Jira to send the email from Todd's email address (todd#{domain}.com) rather than jira#{domain}.com.
Is this possible to configure? This is mainly so that users can hit Reply from their email client and email the person responsible for the comment.
From the JIRA documentation it looks as if you can only configure one "from" email address per project, not per user.
The advantage of having project specific email addresses is that you can configure email services that will automatically create or update JIRA issues from emails sent to them.
