How do I use Automate to trigger a rule based on an arbitrary branch name?

I am having trouble forcing Jira Automate to execute my rule that starts with `Branch Created` trigger. My GitHub for Jira app is set to have access to all repositories. When I simply push a new branch with name `release/test` to origin, the rule does not execute. I've also tried adding a specific JIRA issue as well as smart commits into the latest commit and then pushing the new branch to origin with no effect. We are on next-gen projects only. 

I suspect only branches created that have a ticket name as part of its name trigger this rule. If so, is there any other way to do what I want?

Hi @Henry Yei 

I believe that you are correct that the issue must be referenced in the branch name.  Please see these two documentation pages for details:

Best regards,

Bill
