Learn Automation in Jira with real-world examples

This course teaches you how to use the invaluable automation tool in Jira.

This tool (that was previously a paid add–on) has proven to be so popular and useful, that it was taken over by Atlassian themselves, and is now included with all Cloud subscription. It is still an add–on available on Jira Server though.

Automation for Jira allows you to set up Triggers, Conditions and Actions, where you can listen for a particular event in Jira to trigger an automation rule, then check certain conditions and execute some actions accordingly. We will be learning this tool through real–world examples, some of which include:

Send notifications (email/slack) when an issue is created with a particular priority, or when the priority is set to a specific value, or simply whenever the priority is upgraded

Automatically distribute workload to the development team by auto–assigning issues and keeping balance in workload between all team members

Embed issue data in the automation logic and include in notifications

Perform recurring tasks automatically and on a scheduled basis (like creating recurring issues)

Track how many times an issue goes to a particular status

Post a list of filter results to Slack at the same time every weekday
