Automation Rule

[antony.nelson]

How do I define a rule that gives an output of available issues on a sprint within a single message rather as a a separate message for each issue on MS Teams. I want all as a list within a single MS Teams message.

Does Jira administrator need to enable automation rules when creating a project?

or is the rule automation part of projects when created and rules can set by the project administrator?

Hi Michael

Global administrators can always manage rules.

Go to System- Automation rules- You can get the option for global configuration for Automation

If you want to allow project managers to do the automation, please check the option "Allow Project administrators to manage project rules" and ad their group in the available option

Please let me know if you need more information

Thanks

Radhika

Hi Antony,

Automation For Jira just released some new functionality for that. Take a look at this thread (you will have to read down a ways):

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/Sending-an-email-with-a-list-of-issues-using-Automation-for-Jira/qaq-p/1192501?utm_source=atlcomm&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=immediate_general_reply&utm_content=topic

And here is a brand new blog on summing story points:

Thank you so much, It worked. However, the Issue type parameter (both either type or type name) is not picking up despite being tried in different ways. The rest of the issue fields are being supported. I can live with that for now anyway.

[John Funk]

Great! Glad it is working for you! Can you share your rule so I can understand the type part better?

My Message format

Content:

<ul>
{{#lookupIssues}}
<li>{{key}} - {{issueType.name}} - {{status.name}} - {{summary}} - {{assignee.displayName}}</li>
{{/}}
</ul>

{{issueType.name}} --- This doesn't come up

It comes with Blank hyphen something like below.

Content:

A-1 - - In progress - Story Summary -  Antony

B-2 - - In Testing - Bug Summary - Nelson

My Filter JQL:

issuetype in (Bug, Epic, Feature, Spike, Story, Task, Sub-task) AND project in (A, B, C) AND Sprint in (1, 2, 3) order by issuetype, created DESC

[John Funk]

Awesome job - way to go!! And thanks for sharing!

Good article, very informative

@antony.nelson did you ever find a workaround for the empty issueType.name? 

[antony.nelson]

Unfortunately, No, I haven't found one yet @jeromeortega 

[John Funk]

Hi @Jerome Ortega and @antony.nelson 

Try it without the uppercase T, so {{issuetype.name}}
