Automation  Basics

Automation  from

Automated rule building blocks

constitute ,

The three basic elements are ： trigger （Trigger）、 Conditions （Condition） And the action （Action）

. Trigger indicates when （WHEN） Will trigger Automation , such as ： When  Issue  When creating or updating , When the external system calls . Condition means that only those who fully meet the condition （IF）, Will perform the action , such as ：Issue Type = Sub-task. And action / The operation represents the trigger and condition that conform to the automation rules , What needs to be done （THEN）, such as ： Create or update  Issue, Through the mail 、 nailing 、 Enterprise micro 、 anonymous letter 、Slack  or  MS Teams  Send a message, etc .

However , To play  Automation, We need some basic knowledge ：JQL（Jira  query language ） and  Smart Values.

For more information , Please check the two articles shared before ：

Get through Jira It is no longer difficult to work with Dingding and enterprise wechat

【 Step on the pit diary 】Jira Automation  And flying book IM Get through

 

Case four ： Code branch creation automatic update  Jira  Status to in progress

Use  Jira  Automation can create code branches in R & D students 、 Create pull request 、 Pull request merge 、 Deploy to a certain environment and other key R & D processes , Automatically trigger corresponding  Jira Issue  State switch of , Without opening  Jira Issue  To manually update the status .

The essence is to use what I shared before  

Jira Workflow

  Triggers in （Trigger）, In addition to triggers ,Workflow  There are also conditions 、 Verifier and post-processing , and Automation  Filled in  Jira Workflow  Trigger and post-processing requirements that cannot be met by native functions .

The best way to build and test automated rules

：a） Test in a separate project or a test cloud site ;b） Build rules step by step ;c） Use  Log Action  action ;d）Review  The audit log （ Be your best friend ）.

Jira  Automation essentials

：

When the submitted defect priority is  Highest, And the handler is empty , Automatically assigned to

you

, At the same time, remind in the enterprise wechat Group , The copy is as follows ：

【PMO Xiaomi reminds me 】

The highest priority defect has been created , please  {{ you }}  Deal with as soon as possible , Defect link ：{{

IPD-30

}}.
