Jira Automation email for 3 categories of Labels

Sridhar Gandla

I would like to write one automation rule of 3 categories of Labels.. My JQL will fetch all 3 categories of Labels in Single JQL Query.. So, for all good.  In Jira Automation rule, can I use If condition Label = Category 1 in On single Tabular format and 2nd Table Label = Category 2. Finally. Label = Category 3 in 3rd Table... I mean, Key, Summary, Lable 1 is my table Header row. 

Please suggest, how do I do this ?

Hi @Sridhar Gandla

you can use one JQL to fetch the issues of your three different categories and achieve something like you've requested.
After issuing the JQL, e.g. with a Lookup Issues action, you can use a send email action with a template like this:

Table 1:
<table>
{{#lookupIssues}}
  {{#if(equals(labels.first, "cat1"))}}
    <tr><td>{{key}}</td><td>{{summary}}</td></tr>
  {{/}}
{{/}}
</table>

Table 2:
<table>
{{#lookupIssues}}
  {{#if(equals(labels.first, "cat2"))}}
    <tr><td>{{key}}</td><td>{{summary}}</td></tr>
  {{/}}
{{/}}
</table>

Please note that this template only checks the first label in case an issue has multiple ones, I was not sure how to iterate through multiple labels.

Therefore, I'd suggest that you simply create 3 lookupIssues actions and filter them by label in the JQL already. Then you can simply print the result of all these without additional filtering while constructing the email.

Cheers,
Matthias.
