Trigger Automation on File Attachment?

[Patrick White]

How do I trigger an automation when a file is uploaded with a specific string in the filename?

I asked Rovo, but Automations has been updated to use "Flows".

Hello @Patrick White 

It depends how Attachment are "Uploaded". ?

Theres tons of Bugs around Attachment as Trigger.

Hi @Patrick White

Thanks for the question.

Yes, this can be done using Jira Automation.

One approach is to use the Field value changed trigger:

Field: Attachment
Change type: Value added

Then add an Advanced compare condition to check the filename of the uploaded attachment.

First value

 {{attachment.filename}}

contains 

Second value

 YourString 

Then you action.

You can find more smart values in this documentation.
