How can I create an automation rule that run when the status changes to "done"?

[אביטל ווליק]

I want to create an automation rule that writes a comment in a Story issue
type when the status changed to “Done”. The comment should state who closed the issue and when.

Hi @אביטל ווליק 

This rule should work:

• Trigger: Issue Transitioned
  • To Status = Done
• Action: Comment on Issue
  • See text below...

---

Hello, this issue was closed!

It was closed at {{resolved.shortDate}}

It was closed by {{initiator.displayName}}

---

A few notes...

• This rule uses smart values
• The closure of the issue is the trigger for the rule, so we can refer to the "initiator" of the rule as the user who closed the issue
• {{initiator}} is showing who activated the rule
• {{resolved}} shows the date the issue was resolved (i.e closed) - you can change how the date is visualised using the date formats on this help page

Let us know if this works for you!
