(Next Gen Project) -- Is there a way to have a daily digest email/slack/notification sent?

Jackson Yellen

Hi! I'm trying to build a notification that creates a summary of the day's updates, issue creations, etc. Anything and everything that occurred on our board for the day so that outside stakeholders are able to review as needed? Does anyone have any idea how to do this on a Next-gen-project? I've seen plenty of ways to go about it for a classic project.

Thanks!

Hi Jackson, welcome to the Community!

For this case, I'd recommend using a Jira Automation rule. You can run the rule on a schedule (for example every morning). The first action in the rule would be an issue lookup, based on JQL that captures issues updated that day. For example, this would get any issues updated in the last 24 hours:

project = "Your Project" and updated > -1d

Next, you'd use a Slack notification (or email) rule to send a message. The Lookup value here would iterate through all the issues returned by the search. You might use something like:

The following issues were updated in the last day:

{{#lookupIssues}}
* <{{url}}|{{key}}> - {{summary}}
{{/}}

Here's a similar rule for reference (from this article):

This method will work for both Classic and Next Gen projects! You can modify the Slack message as you need, or swap it out with an email notification instead.

Cheers,
Daniel
