How can I Automate pulling work log reports?

Question

At the end of every week, I would like to automatically pull out a work log report for everyone working in my team.

Also If possible, if the work log is below a certain daily threshold, (Say 5 hrs) I would like to send a reminder to my team members to update their work log for the day

Welcome to the community !!

You can use the Jira Rest API to pull this data or use a mktplace add-on. If you would be interested in the same, you can try out our add-on

The app provides the following features.

* Worklogs Report :* Create reports for time entered by your team members
* Filter/Categorize/Group By your worklogs data

* Timesheets : View/Enter time spent for multiple issues and multiple days from a single screen
* Dashboard gadgets

Disclaimer : I work for the vendor who built this app

Hey @danielfajimi

Welcome to the community :)

You will have to use 3rd party app or API queries to pull this report, we don't have an option to get this data within Jira.

1. Using REST APIs: Jira provides REST APIs that can be used to pull data from Jira cloud. You can write a script that calls these APIs to get work log reports and schedule this script to run at specific intervals. The specific API for work logs is '/rest/api/3/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/worklog'. You can find more details in the Jira Cloud REST API documentation

2.Using 3rd party add-ons: There are several third-party tools available that can help you automate the process of pulling work log reports. Please check out our marketplace for the same.
