Does Jira support custom steps with auto workflows ? Automation on pull request update US and link ?

[Mahesh Joshi]

Hi we are slowly transitioning to Jira cloud one of my workmate asked following questions about Jira can you please help ?

Does Jira support creating a standard process with customizable steps that can be automatically ticked off based on work progression?

Additionally, can we trigger automation for tasks like updating user stories and linking pull requests?

If so, can team members set this up for their own workflows?

Essentially, I want robots to do most of my job where feasible, so that I can focus on the parts that really matter.

Hello @Mahesh Joshi 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Jira has some automation features available.

Automation Rules can be used for many things. The permission to create Automation Rules has to be granted by Jira Admins, and can be granted based on User Groups.

You would need to delve into the specific requirements of each use case to determine if it could be handled by Automation Rules.

Documentation can be found here:
