JWT offers the Execute remote action post function to execute predefined or custom actions not only locally on the current Jira environment, but also on any other web services.

Configuration

The post function offers two types of configuration. In the default view you can choose between predefined and directly usable action templates. In the expert mode, actions can be freely defined and configured.

title	Wizard

The wizard is the default configuration view of the Execute remote post function. It was built to enable an easy and efficient configuration of common use cases. For those use cases, action templates are shipped with the app, which can be configured in a three-step approach.

UI Steps

UI Step

Select action

At the very beginning, you need to choose an action template that suits your purpose. You can filter those templates by the target service and search across all provided ones. After selecting one, click next to get to the next step.

UI Step

Select connection

After selecting an action template, you need to choose the remote service, the action shall get executed against. If you have selected an action template that fits to your current plattform, you can select next to your custom connection, the current instance additionally.

If you cannot find a connection that fit for you can easily configure a new one.

//EXCERPT creating a new connection? Maybe with an expand?

After selecting one, click next to get to the next step.

UI Step

Customize your action

In the last step, you can finish your configuration by setting all the required action template parameters using the set value link next to the parameter name. Some templates have optional parameters that can be chosen using the "Add parameter" action.

Each parameter can be set either by selecting a Jira field that contains an according value or by setting a custom value using the "set value manually option" and passing a parser expression.

Besides setting the actions parameter, you can also configure fields to be updated after the action has been executed. If provided in the action template, you can set a field using a dedicated part of the remote service's response. In every case, you can store the complete response and the status code of the remote service after executing the action.

After setting the actions parameter and optionally storing the service response, you can click "Add" to store the post function in your transistion.
