Adding the Project Name into automation rule emails?

Graham Harbour

Hi,

I'm setting up sprint start and completion emails in the Automation Rules function, and am successfully using the {{sprint.xxxx}] smart values to good effect - but I can't see anywhere in the documentation what smart value parameter I'd need to use to add the Project Name value into the email contents.

Is that even possible? I'd like to do so to reduce the automation rules by a significant amount.

Thanks,

Graham Harbour

Hi Graham,

Have you tried using {{issue.project}} or {{issue.project.displayName}}

Bill Sheboy

Hi @Graham Harbour

The value you want is:

{{issue.project.name}}

For stuff like this which is not listed in the Smart Value documentation, try this info to do a REST API call for an example issue:

Best regards,

Bill

Thank you for your quick answer, Both {{project.name}} and {{issue.project.name}} worked for me.

A shame this wasn't clearly documented, but I guess there are limits to what you can publish in help files.

Bill Sheboy

Yup, on the documentation. After Atlassian acquired Code Barrel in November 2019, the latter's documentation was replaced by the former's info. They are still catching up, I think, on making all that great information visible.

@Bill SheboyApologies for the follow-up message, but do you know if Atlassian have changed something? None of the solutions in this answered query work for me now:

{{issue.project}}
{{issue.project.name}}
{{issue.project.displayName}}
{{project.name}}

Hi John and Graham,

I just tried what you tried, and my results were:

{{issue.project}} -- This one blows up with a long error message. Interesting...
{{issue.project.name}} -- Returns the correct value
{{issue.project.displayName}} -- Returns nothing (null)
{{project.name}} -- Returns the correct value

Best regards,

Bill

Graham Harbour

Hmm, how very odd - neither {{project.name}} or {{issue.project.name}} returns anything in the email subject line or body when used in automation rules with Sprint created or Sprint Completed triggers.

Bill Sheboy

Ah... Now I believe that I see what you are trying...

Those sprint triggers have no issue context, and the project name smart value comes from the issue. So you would need an issue to access project name.

Maybe try the lookup action to get an issue, and then use that item to get the project name.
