How to link a Jira issue to a gitbook repository for documentation purposes

[Roald M Rasmussen]

Given - A branch from a source repository is created to work on a feature/bug.

When - a developer has finished with the feature/bug.

And - is ready to commit the branch.

Then - the branch would also be committed to a gitBook repository for documentation purposes. 

This would automate/list any bug fixes and features that will need to be documented for public visibility.

In Jira Cloud, you can configure this under Project Settings > Automation, using the [Send web request action](
