Introducing a New Automation Action - Add Web Link to Work Item 🔗

[#1]

Hey Atlassian Community,

I’m Raine from the Automation team, and I’m here to announce a new action to kick off 2026!

As your toolkit grows, managing all of your web resources can be a real challenge, and as a result, many of you have asked us for the ability to add web links to your automation rules.

Previously, you could only add web links to work items manually - which was great for single-use resources, but not so much for larger scale ones.

Now, you can add resources both ways! No more manual linking tedium - our action offers a simple, efficient way to add web links to your work items. However, please keep in mind that a limit of 2000 remote links exist on work items.

What this new action looks like:

And, smart values boost your capability where manually adding web links can’t:

With this new action, you can add web resources to your work more efficiently than ever. We’re excited to see how you’ll use this component and would love to hear your feedback below!
