I want to manage release through Jira integrated with Github

[Ashmita Mishra]

1. There are more stories in a sprint

2. I have created version in Jira and linked those version as 'Fix version' to specific issue types

3. I have Github already integrated to Jira

I want to deploy all those issue types from Jira only when I release the specific version, and I want to see the release note

Please help on the same

Hi @Ashmita Mishra 

Yes, this is possible with Jira and GitHub integration. Here's how you can achieve it:

1. First, tag all the issues with a Fix Version (example: v1.0.0)

2. Then, go to Jira → Releases → Create the version (v1.0.0) → Release it when ready

3. Now set up an Automation rule:

• Trigger: Version Released

• Action: Send Web Request (Webhook to GitHub or your CI/CD tool)

• Include version name (v1.0.0) in the payload

4. In GitHub, create a GitHub Action that listens to the webhook and triggers deployment for that version

5. After releasing, go to Jira → Releases → v1.0.0 → You’ll see the auto-generated Release Notes with all linked issues

So once the version is released in Jira, your GitHub deployment kicks off, and Jira handles the release notes for you
