Hello @POOBALAN MUNUSAMY 

If I understand your need correctly: the automation finds all assigned standard tickets (no epic or subtask) without work logged today, retrieves all assignee users, and sends this list to a team lead?

An empty list may be caused by an incorrect variable in your automation or how you're using this variable in the send email action. Can you share screenshots of these elements?

Also, the branch  in your automation (for stories)  will take child issues if the scheduled JQL retrieves an epic, and will ignore other issues (which is not ideal for me).

Simplified Alternatives
Create a filter with your JQL ex :  worklogDate < startOfDay() AND statusCategory != done AND assignee is not EMPTY and issuetype in (yours issuetypes)

and subscribe to it for daily emails to avoid automation complexity.

If you prefer automation for personalized emails:

Use a scheduled trigger without JQL.

Add a "Lookup issues" action with your full JQL to get the list of tickets (the number of tickets depends on the "Lookup issues" configuration in your Data Center; default is 100).

Use smart values like {{lookupIssues.assignee.displayName.distinct.join(", ")}} in the email body.

Hope this can help :)

Hi Tran,

Yes, my objective is to check worklog across stories & subtasks and send the report the following day to reporting manager

refer to attachment, this settings incorrect ?. for test purpose, i set it to every 6 mins. Ithe idea is I want report to be generated the following workday only before 10am and send the report to manager

Please ask them to update their Jira worklogs as per process.
