Tired of doing double work most of the time? Repetitive tasks make you stressed? No worries! from now on you can put all of your energy on work you actually have to do. JWT Automation gives you and your team the power to automate and control the most complex plans you have.

You can achieve that simply by, configuring rules based on your needs.

JWT Automation rules contain

While JWT workflow post functions are a perfect way to automate actions that are directly tied to a workflow transition, automation rules allow you to automate actions within Jira regardless of any workflow.

JWT automation rules contain up to

four elements:


Image ModifiedTriggers:

A rule must start with a trigger. They define whether

They define when a rule should be executed

or not and are generally based on

. This is why every rule starts with a trigger. Usually a trigger listens to a field, issue, project or system event, but it can also be scheduled to only be executed at certain times. Learn more about triggers.


Image ModifiedSelectors: They

provide

act like filters that provides the ability to search for

specific issues within

specific issues within a rule

and

 and then take actions only against those issues

it

found. Learn more about selectors.


Image ModifiedConditions: They provide the ability

to

to further refine and control processing. You can configure complex rules containing multiple and/or nested conditions. Learn more about conditions.


Image ModifiedActions:

They determine the type of filed,

 They define any field, issue, transition, comment or email processing that should take place automatically. Learn more about actions.

The minimum effort: A trigger + 1 action

So first of all, let us discuss the first steps of the rule built in this example; they consist of a trigger and an action.

You found the signal so you quickly called the nearest repair shop (this is your trigger in this case), then the mechanic comes and take it to the shop to take care of the rest (and here is the action).

That's it, these were the two main elements of a rule.

Getting more control: Adding a condition

Now, the car is in the repair shop, let us imagine two scenarios, the first one is where the mechanic knows exactly what is wrong with your car, and the second one where he does not know what is broken in your car.
Let us start with the first one.

The mechanic says that your car needs a new air filter, but he does not know if they have it in stock at the shop (this is the condition), he will go and check, if they have it (yes = condition is fulfilled), then he would just replace it (action1) and your car is good to go! If the do not have it (no = condition is not fulfilled), then he will order one and replace it (action 2) and your car is good to go!  

This is an example of having a rule with triggercondition→(if condition is met) action 1→(if condition is not met) action 2

Enabling the full power: Using selectors

In the second scenario, like we mentioned before, the mechanic does not know what is wrong with your car ( this is the main task), so he will take parts of your car (consider them as subtasks).

  1. The mechanic takes the engine (subtask 1) and check it (action 1).
  2. The mechanics takes the battery (subtask 2) and check it (action 2). and so on...

This is a example of a rule with a trigger and selector.
