"Building the best processes to support your teams."

- Automation rules are now available within Jira Workflow Toolbox -



A year ago we released our app Automation Toolbox to not only enable you to automate your daily work in Jira workflows but also match your business processes with automation rules listening to Jira's various events like field, issue, project, and system events.

With the release of Jira Workflow Toolbox 2.9.0, Automation Toolbox will become an integral part of Jira Workflow Toolbox because we decided you should not need two apps for one common goal: Building the best processes to support your teams.

But it is not just a merge... it's a match!

With the merge of the two products, Jira Workflow Toolbox has become the complete automation solution for your Jira on Server and Data Center platforms. The name remains the same, but now you can go way beyond your Jira workflows.
