Rule Triggered By User Mention in Comment

[Dorian Workman]

I'm trying to create an automation rule that is triggered by a user mention in a comment, and then sends an email to the person/people who were mentioned (basically a replacement for the out-of-the-box mention notification).

I found this posting, but the solution doesn't work for me.  The posted solution was only tested on Jira Cloud; we are using Jira Server v7.12.3.

Anyone know how to get this to work on Server please?

Thanks.

By modifying the regex from the post you linked (DC doesn't use the "accoundID"), I was able to get this to work on DC using the regex \[~[a-zA-Z0-9]+\]. 

Then I extracted the username and placed it in an entity property to be used in webhooks. 

I know this post is pretty old, but hoping I can help someone else who may be looking for a solution.
