Can i write an automation to send an email with new high priority bugs in a list?

Question

One of my duties as a Senior for my team is to write an email every hour with the new bugs that were written within the last hour. I would love to be able to automate this to grab the build number, place the bug in an email, and send it off on the top of every hour.

I have not tried automation before, but just wanted to see if it was possible before I dive into it.

Here is an example of my email to the team

Welcome, @Evan cohen :-)

Trigger an automation every hour, running a "lookupIssues" action for the latest issues of a certain prio, then sending out a mail listing these - that certainly can be done.

The catch is that you somehow want to connect it with your releases/builds/versions. It's hard to say what exactly you require here, and whether it can be done. Just printing the fixVersion value for each found issue should work, though

Just give it a try! the automation template library certainly will help you to get started.
