How do I send a slack message via web request with one message and a list of issues from a filter?

Deanna Vazquez

Screenshot 2023-11-07 at 3.09.39 PM.png I am trying to send a slack message via web request that asks to view the list of tickets that have not been touched in 7 days.

The same message sends with each issue that is found in the JQL query. I want one message and a list of tickets.

{{#lookupIssues}} *<{{url}}|{{key}}> {{/}} is not working. Screenshot 2023-11-07 at 11.16.15 AM.png

Hi @Deanna Vazquez -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Does your scheduled trigger have a JQL statement?

If so, the scheduled trigger will run the rule steps for each issue from the JQL. You may remove that trigger's JQL and only one message will be sent with the issues from the Lookup Issues action.

If you are concerned about sending an empty message (when no issues are found), you may add an Advanced Compare Condition after the lookup and before the message:

first value: {{lookupIssue.size|0}}
condition: greater than
second value: 0

Kind regards,
Bill

I don't think I am following. The scheduled trigger does not have Run a JQL search and execute actions for each issue in the query checked.

This person is asking the same question but their screen has an option to processes in bulk as shown here

The only way I can produce the slack messages is by putting {{issue.summary}}: {{issue.url}}. I cannot put any other wording or it will repeat with every ticket link.

What version of Jira are you using: Cloud, Server, or Data Center?

Does your scheduled trigger have JQL at all? If so, please remove the JQL as it is not needed, regardless of the options selected for processing, bulk-handling, etc.

And, the bulk-handling feature for the scheduled trigger and branches is only available for Server and Data Center, and that is not needed for this type of rule.

To help confirm what is happening, please post an image of your audit log details showing the rule execution.

I am curious: why are you using a Send Web Request action to send the Slack message? All three versions of Jira automation rules have a built-in Send Slack Message action.

The only way the rule is successful is with the below but then every issue has test in front of it but I want it to say:

Test

Ticket

Not

Test ticket

test ticket

{
"message": "Test {{issue.summary}}: {{issue.url}}"
}
