Rovo for New Atlassian Admins: 3 Agents You Can Ship Today

[#1]

If you just became a Jira or Confluence admin, Rovo can take work off your plate this week. Here are 3 agents we use in production:

Onboarding Buddy Agent
Trigger: When a new user is added to group jira-users
What it does: Sends a welcome Confluence page with spaces to join, how to log time, and links to your team’s definition of done. It reads the user’s department from their profile and personalizes the links.
Why: Saves 20 minutes per new hire and reduces “where do I start” tickets.
Stale Issue Nudger
Trigger: Scheduled every Monday at 9 AM
What it does: Finds issues assigned to me where status did not change for 14 days. Drafts a comment like: Hey, this has been idle for 2 weeks. Is it blocked or can we close it. Posts it and pings the assignee on Slack.
Why: Keeps backlogs clean without manual nagging.
Release Notes Drafter
Trigger: When a Version is released in Jira
What it does: Pulls all issues in the version, groups by type and component, summarizes customer-facing changes in plain English, and creates a draft Confluence page. Tags PM for review.
Why: Cuts release note time from 1 hour to 5 minutes.
Start with one, measure time saved, then expand. All three need zero Forge code if your Jira project is under 200 issues. Above that, add a Forge Action for pagination.

I really like the onboarding one, thanks so much for this post! I will create something similar soon.
