How can I set up a notification for each time the Version on an EPIC is changed?

And also a notification when Stories are added to an active EPIC

Anita,

Automation for Jira has a trigger that queues off when a Version is updated. From there you can have it perform an action. For you that action may be sending an email.

For the second one you can have a trigger that when Field Value Changed. Set the field to "Epic Link" and then perform your notification action from there.

Thank you so much. This helped.

I've now managed to get the notification with the Feature/Epic key. But I'd like to also have the Feature description/name in the notification and can't seem to get that working. Any tips please? Thanks

Have you tried utilizing smart values to accomplish this?

If you still need help please let me know.

Yes, I've tried every combination of the smart values but perhaps the syntax is wrong. I can get the TO value but not the FROM value. Here's my code...

Feature changed by {{reporter.displayName}} for

ISSUE: {{issue.key}} {{issue.summary}}

ISSUE TYPE: {{issue.issueType.name}}

FROM: {{fieldChange.fromString}}        Here I want the FROM epic summary also and not just the key. Just like below, which give me the key and the summary

TO: {{fieldChange.toString}}  {{epic.summary}}

FEATURE STATUS IS: {{issue.epic.status.name}}
