Automation sends multiple emails even though lookup issues is set

Vicky Hsu (TPEQV)

I tried to set up an automation that would send a single email with all qualified issues. 

I managed to get a list by adding the lookup issue, but I ended up receiving multiple emails each containing the same list. Here is the reference I found:

I can't figure out where did I do wrong with the setting:

Hi @Vicky Hsu (TPEQV) , 

Yo can create an automation like this one:

No need to run a JQL on the schedule trigger.... you will filter your issues in the lookup component...

And in the Send email component you can detail who you want to send the email to and as you can see in the content part I've included some HTML and smart values to create a table with the issues details.

Here goes a better example for the email content part (with html tables)

<h1>Weekly Report</h1>

<table border="1">
 <tr>
  <th>Key</th>
  <th>Summary</th>
  <th>Status</th>
 </tr>

{{#lookupIssues}}
 <tr>
  <td><a href="{{url}}">{{Key}}</a></td>
  <td>{{summary}}</td>
  <td>{{status.name}}</td>
 </tr>
{{/}}

</table>

 

I hope this has been useful to you.
I will be waiting for your comments. 😉

Cheers!
