Creating subtask in specific story by webhook.

[Piotr Borowiec]

Hello, 

I want to create an automation by sending a POST request with subtask data. The subtask should be created inside a story that I have defined.

So, I have project X, story Y, and I want to create a subtasks in Y using a webhook.
How can I do this? One post request = one sub task that must be add to specific story (name of the story or id can be hardcoded in the automation rule).

Hi @Piotr Borowiec 

Whenever you ask for help with an Automation Rule it will help us to help you if you provide:

1. what type of project is this (e.g., company-managed, team-managed, etc.), 

2. images that show your complete rule.

3. images showing the details of any relevant actions/conditions/branches.

4. images showing the Audit Log details for the rule execution.

5. Explain where the issue is.

These questions are not for not willing to help, but to have community members understand on how automation works.

Hello @Piotr Borowiec 

Have you already started constructing this rule? If so, please provide screen images showing what you have built.

If you are having some problem with some part of the rule, what problem are you encountering?

Automation Rules have the capability to create work items, including subtasks, without using a webhook. Is there a specific reason you want or need to use a webhook?
