Jira automation release version action doesn't trigger another automation

[Alon Hartman]

Hello,

I have a rule in 1 project that triggers an action of a version release in another project.

In the second project, I have a rule that is triggered when a version is released and it sends a webhook.

The problem I encountered is that when this scenario is "played", the second rule is not triggered.

When I release the version manually, it is triggered successfully.

I cannot send the webhook using the first rule since the webhook's url contains a smart value based on issues from the version from the second project.

Can you please fix this issue?

Under rule details, have you checked the box that allow the second automation to be triggered by other automations?

[John Funk]

Yep, that's where I was going.  :-)

[Alon Hartman]

No, I haven't tried it.

I'll check it now and try it in the next version release.

[Alon Hartman]

This resolved my issue.

Thanks

Hi Alon,

Can you share a screenshot of the rule details for the second trigger which is not getting fired?

@Alon Hartman is it possible for you to share your automation config?  I am also looking to automate Version releases, based on resolution of a ticket in a 2nd project.  I'm essentially trying to achieve:

• Trigger:  Central Release Project issue ticket transitions to Done
• Action:  Release version in another project (somehow linked to the trigger issue ticket), and set Release Date to TODAY()

FYI:  we have 1 Central Release project (no versions), and many Squad Projects where they create the Versions.
