Want to send email notification is Due date of sub-task is greater than 2 days

Problem- Want to send email notification if Due date of sub-task is greater than 2 days.

My logic/thought process- If I can create a custom field which will calculate the difference between Due Date and start Date i.e[ Due Date -Start date] and stores the values and If it's value is greater than 2(days) then through Jira automation we can send out email notification . But I am stuck at creating such custom field which will calculate the diff.

 

Please help me out .it's bit urgent .

Thanks in advance .

Hi @Manish Kumar and welcome to the Community!

An easier way to do this, would be to create a filter via filters > advanced issue search like this:

Project = <your project> AND issuetype = sub-task AND due <= -2d AND resolution = unresolved

Save the filter and from the details section next to the filter name, create a filter subscription that sends out a digest mail to whomever needs to be informed on a scheduled basis.

Instead of using an email notification, you could also use this as a quick filter on a board or as the source for a dashboard gadget, thus reducing email spam and creating more engagement with your users to actually use the tool instead.

Hope this helps!
