Using Rovo in Automation to find data in Assets

[Thomas Pedersen Ljungstrom]

Hi

I want to use Rovo in Automation, to search and find objects in Assets when a work item is created.

I've been trying to use the standard "Rovo Expert", giving it a very simple prompt to test with. But the response I'm getting is:

"I can help you with questions about Atlassian Rovo, but your question is about Assets in Jira, which is outside the scope of Rovo support."

Can it be done?

My goal is to have Rovo searching for object references and attributes, based on custom field values, when a work item is created.

Thanks.

@Thomas Pedersen Ljungstrom Rovo can’t query Assets in Automation today. The built-in “Rovo Expert” ignores prompts outside its scope, and Assets data isn’t exposed to Rovo as a searchable source. To automate lookups, you’ll need the Assets REST API or an Automation action that queries objects directly. Once Atlassian adds Assets as a Rovo data source, this workflow will work as you describe.

And not a stupid question at all. “In Rovo” means inside Rovo Studio—that’s where you build or edit agents. Open Rovo → Studio → (Your Agent) → Skills and that’s where custom skills live. If you don’t see Studio, your admin needs to grant Rovo Builder access.

Understood. Thanks @Dr Valeri Colon _Connect Centric_ !

Create an automation with a descriptive name:

Fetch data from Assets

Configure it to receive parameters (e.g., the asset name).

In Rovo, create a custom skill:

Skill name: Fetch data from Assets
Input: Asset name
Action: Execute automation “Fetch data from Assets”

This way, you call the automation indirectly via Rovo.

Hi @Jorge Cammarota 

Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately, I don't quite understand what you are trying to tell me :)

Maybe it's a stupid question, but when you say "In Rovo, create a custom skill:", where is that? Where is "In Rovo" ?
