How to add Release Notes via Smart Values to an automated email send upon version release?

Desislava Dimitrova_qv3ydm

Hello,

 

I have an active automation rule, which sends an email every time a new Version is marked as Released.

 

Is there a way to add the release notes directly into the automated email using automation/smart values? 

 

Looking forward to your replies! Thanks!

Hi @Desislava Dimitrova  -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I know of two ways to do what you ask, depending upon whether or not you need the issue information in the email and your recipients have Jira access:

1. If your recipients have Jira access, you could just send them a link to the specific release page, substituting in your information for company, project, and version: myCompany/browse/myProject/fixforversion/{{version.id}}
2. Use a Lookup Issues action to gather the issues and then iterate over them to send the details.  To do this please try:

Release Report rule:

• Trigger: when version released
• Action: lookup issues on JQL with fixVersion = '{{version.name}}'
• Action: send email with some markup for the list, substituting in your company URL and project name.

Release {{version.name}} included these items:

<ul>
{{#lookupIssues}}
<li><a href="{{url}}">{{key}}</a>: {{summary}}; {{assignee.displayName}}</li>{{/}}
</ul>

Link to the version is:
myCompany/browse/myProject/fixforversion/{{version.id}}

Please see the Lookup Issues documentation to learn the fields available for you to include.

Best regards,

Bill
