assets automation smart values

[reza rouhafza]

Hi

I want to set up an automation in Jira assets to send an HTTP request each time an Object is updated. The HTTP request should include the updated object's Previous and new attribute values. But I can't find any smart value for the changed attribute or its old and new values to use in the HTTP request. 

It would be nice to use the changed attribute smart value in the conditions too, to avoid running the automation for all the attribute changes.

Here's an example:

I have an Object type named "Team" and it has an attribute called "Members" that is a Jira user attribute. I want to send an HTTP Request (or an email) each time a member joins or leaves the team, with this information in it:

Team name: Hawks

old members: Jim, Bob, Emilie

new members: Jim, Jack, Judy

I can do this with the Jira automation and Scriptrunner triggers there, but I want to learn how to use the assets automation.

Hi @reza rouhafza 

On editing objects in an automation and then taking action, the action part is not aware yet on the update.

On the start of the rule the object contains values a.b and c and these will be used in the API/HTTP call as well.

The assets automation on server/DC is still using the old automation engine and has no action to re-fetch data before executing an action.

So I don't see a possibility to solve this in assets automation on server/DC
