Automation - post comment to the last sub-task for a Story/Task when other sub-tasks are Done

Question

Hi, I would like to know how to build a Rule that is triggered when all other sub-tasks from a specific Story/Task from an active sprint are in a status Resolved/Done?

At the end of each story we need to have a Design review (the sub-task is always named like that), so I would like to have a comment added to the last sub-task (that is still in To do status) or/and a slack message sent to the channel, when all other sub-tasks are Done, that a person who usually does Design Review can start doing that.

Thanks!

Sure, start with this and see if it helps guide you. There are lots of resources and webinars to help you learn more about it. It is a very powerful and easy tool.

There are two types of automation:

* Global: In the Free version, you get 100 executions per product, per month
* Project: In all versions, you get unlimited executions per month

You can do this via global rules to apply to all projects also. You'll need to be a Jira Admin/Site Admin, go to Jira Settings > System > Automation Rules (left-hand menu).

Actually, I would need help from scratch as I'm stuck on choosing a correct Trigger..
