Use case

Often creating repetitive issues is daily work, e.g. in a software development release process. It might be that for every new feature specific tasks have to be done in order to successfully release a new software version containing this feature, while updating the product documentation, the marketplace presence or sending a newsletter to all customers.

To avoid creating these issues always manually, the following automation rule can easily manage this by creating the issues automatically.

When to use this workflow post function and when to use an automation rule?

This use case is very useful if only want to create issues automatically for one project and workflow.

If repetitive issues have to be created in several projects, however, that have different workflows, configuring just one automation rule with the Create issue action might then be the easier way to go.

In this case, you might want to check out our corresponding automation use case.
