I implemented a Python script based on selenium,  and configured in the Jenkins Job.

Here are code

import os
import io
import time
from datetime import datetime
import tzlocal
from string import Template
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait
import argparse
from EnvDefault import env_default
from urllib import parse

code_repo="https://xxx.xxx.com/burndown-chart.git"

def append_sprint_id(url, sprint_id):
if "?" in url:
return url + "&sprint=" + sprint_id

return "?sprint=" + sprint_id

def generate_chart(driver, burndown_url, stories_url, username, password, output_location) :
driver.get(stories_url)

WebDriverWait(driver, 50).until(
lambda x: x.find_element_by_id("login-form-username"))

driver.maximize_window()

el_user = driver.find_element_by_id("login-form-username")
el_password = driver.find_element_by_id("login-form-password")
el_user.clear()
el_user.send_keys(username)
el_password.clear()
el_password.send_keys(password)
driver.find_element_by_id("login-form-submit").click()

# element = WebDriverWait(driver, 50).until(
# lambda x: x.find_element_by_id("ghx-chart-wrap"))

time.sleep(3)

#pick up sprint name, days left etc.
''
el_sprint_ids = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector('div#subnav-opts-work div.aui-dropdown2-section ul.aui-list-truncate li')
sprint_id = None

el_sprints = [el_sprint_item for el_sprint_item in el_sprint_ids if project_key in el_sprint_item.find_element_by_tag_name('a').get_attribute("innerHTML")]

sprint_id = el_sprints[0].find_element_by_tag_name('a').get_attribute('data-item-id') if el_sprints else None

Hi @Anand Kumar what you could consider is to copy the report link and use it in an automation rule.

trigger - scheduled

action - send email and add link to the body of the email

with that said generally viewing the burn down is a good way to start a daily scrum meeting. Maybe you are sending outside of the scrum team?

Hi @Anand Kumar

JIRA does not natively have the ability to do this currently.

While there are some suggested work-around in the comments of that page, I found a related post over at

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/JIRA-questions/Emailing-BI-Dashboard-Reports-from-JIRA/qaq-p/243952

That might be more helpful here.
