Is there a way to be alerted when anyone moves an item out of the current sprint?

Lily Tucker-Ha

Hi,

please can someone help; Is there a way to be alerted when anyone moves an item out of the current sprint?

I've been trying to set this up myself for a while but I'm getting stuck because I'm using the "Value changes for" trigger; i.e.

Trigger: "when value changes for Sprint"

Branch: for issues in the sprint

Then: Send email

However, the rule fails to run with the error :

Action details:

["10099"]

Branch rule / related issues

Can't branch rule as it requires a sprint in the context for this option. More than likely you have a trigger that isn't sprint related.

Which makes me think I'm not using the correct trigger, but there isn't one I can see that is relevant. At the same time, I know you can't use "current" or "active" sprint on filters, so maybe that's why I can't specify changes to the active/current sprint?

 

Maybe there's an easier way to do this other than automation that I'm missing completely. Please help?

Thanks,

Lily

Hi @Lily Tucker-Ha - The big thing is that you need to be able to evaluate whether the original or new sprint value was for the current sprint.  Try something like this:

 

• TRIGGER: Field Value Changed (Sprint)
• ACTION: Lookup Issues
  We'll first make sure that the issue hasn't been pulled into sprint (unless you want that captured too)
  
  • sprint in openSprints() AND key = {{Issue}}
• CONDITION (Advanced)
  • {{lookupIssues.size}}
    Not Equals
    1
• ACTION: Lookup Issues
  Now we'll figure out the current sprint
  
  • sprint in openSprints()
• CONDITION (Advanced)
  • {{fieldChange.from}}
    Equals
    {{lookupIssues.first.sprint.id}}
• ACTION: Send Email
