Automate creation of Jira Issues from folder

Jonathan Do

From time to time we get attachments that we put in a folder in our google drive.

What i'm trying to do is whenever a new file is put in this folder, a new Jira issue is created with this file attached to it.

Is there a plugin that does this? Or can I use python to program something to do this for me? Couldn't find anything online and looking forward to your thoughts.

Hi @Jonathan Do, Jira can create issues via email. 

Can you either have your user send an email, that includes the attachment, to a special address recognized by Jira, or can you have some script detect the new file in your folder and send Jira an email?

Here's more on the "create via email" feature: https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver073/creating-issues-and-comments-from-email-861253784.html

Hope this helps,

Thank you for your reply Rachel!

We had an internal discussion regarding this and we're going to create a python script that will take the attachment and create an issue within the project we want it to. Not the way we originally want to do it, but probably the best. Thanks so much for your help!

Hi @Jonathan Do wondering if you guys were able to implement it. I know it might be a small project and I am looking for the same solution so it would be great if you can share that python script, if developed.

Thanks
