# Configuring notifications for specific work item transitions

The default work item transitioned notification sends work item updates on every transition. If you also choose to reopen closed conversations, the behavior is often undesired because you want work items reopened only when they are transitioned to a "done" state.

You can achieve this behavior by installing a **workflow post function** in your Jira space workflow. This page walks you through the steps to configure such a post function.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Feature not available for team-managed spaces if the app version is before 3.0.0**

Note that if your installed Intercom for Jira app version is earlier than 3.0.0, workflow post functions are not available in team-managed spaces. Please [update the app to version 3.0.0 or later](https://docs.toolsplus.io/atlassian-cloud/forge-migration#what-you-need-to-do).
{% endhint %}

## Adding a Workflow Post Function

From the Jira home screen, expand **the Spaces section (1)** in the left-side menu to find the space you would like to connect to Intercom. If your desired space does not show in the recent section, you can find it by clicking **View all spaces (2)**. Click **the context menu button ⋯ (3)** and select **Space settings (4)**.

## Troubleshooting

If your Workflow Post Function is not working, please ensure that

1. The Jira space is connected to Intercom
2. [Conversation linking is enabled](https://docs.toolsplus.io/atlassian-cloud/intercom-for-jira/guides/managing-app-features#disabling-notifications) in the configuration
