Jira Release Approver Automation

[Anthony Pugliese]

Hi all

am trying to follow this document around sending Approvers within Releases an email
How to send emails Approvers of Jira release using Automation for Jira | Jira and Jira Service Management | Atlassian Support

what issue i am facing is that the following error appears

=======================

Send Web Request 05/11/2026, 13:14:22

Unable to publish the web request - received HTTP status response:

404

Error found in the HTTP body response:

{"errorMessages":["You must have browse project rights in order to view versions."],"errors":{}}

============================

i am assuming since i dont have browse rights in all projects in my org, i am having this error? would i be correct in that assumption?

is there a way to define the URL this further down that i am only asking to browse a specific project rather than all projects within the jira instance/account??

• Web request URL: https://sitename/rest/api/3/version/{{version.id}}?expand=approvers

Hello @Anthony Pugliese 

In the Rule Details for the Automation Rule, how have you set the Scope for the rule? That is where you define the Projects to which the rule will apply.

yes the scope is specific to my project 
and this project i am the space admin, iteration manager

i have also checked permissions and all users have "browse" permissions on this project

this answers my question about being specific to the project, but doesnt help me understand why the error appears since i have access
