Jira is used to track work and issues and offers event-based automations. It suits processes where status, ownership, and dependencies between items need to stay consistent.

Overview

You can define a rule that assigns work, changes fields, or coordinates work across projects. For development and operations teams, it is important to define which event truly completes a stage, especially when there are several item types and workflows. A simple rule with a clear scope is easier to maintain than a collection of overlapping organization-wide rules.

Features

  • No-code rules for recurring tasks
  • Automatic assignment of work items
  • Automation across projects and work products

Business uses

  • Assign an issue based on the system component
  • Update a tracking item when the implementation task is complete

Getting started

  • Choose a project and a defined trigger, such as a status transition
  • Add a condition that limits the rule to the desired item type
  • Check a successful run and a run that stops at the condition

What to check

  • Check the automation actor's permissions in each destination project
  • Check quotas and rule scope before expanding to the entire organization
