Description
This course teaches you how to use the invaluable automation tool in Jira.This tool (that was previously a paid add-on) has proven to be so popular and useful, that it was taken over by Atlassian themselves, and is now included with all Cloud subscription. It is still an add-on available on Jira Server though.
Automation for Jira allows you to set up Triggers, Conditions and Actions, where you can listen for a particular event in Jira to trigger an automation rule, then check certain conditions and execute some actions accordingly. We will be learning this tool through real-world examples, some of which include:
- Send notifications (email/slack) when an issue is created with a particular priority, or when the priority is set to a specific value, or simply whenever the priority is upgraded
- Automatically distribute workload to the development team by auto-assigning issues and keeping balance in workload between all team members
- Embed issue data in the automation logic and include in notifications
- Perform recurring tasks automatically and on a scheduled basis (like creating recurring issues)
- Track how many times an issue goes to a particular status
- Post a list of filter results to Slack at the same time every weekday
- Bulk update issues using smart logic
- and many more....
- Introduction and background – Introduce the tool, talk about background and other logistics and get our first look at an automation rule
- Basic Rules – We'll start with the basics and introduce you to many highly useful features and capabilities such as smart values, branch rules, and take a look at certain triggers and actions
- Advanced Rules – Now you've got the hang of it so here we'll just see more examples, many of which use more advanced triggers/actions and general automation logic.
