Jira Automation for pull request merged is not working

Question

Hi Everyone

I recently started using an Azure DevOps for Jira Pugin to be able to see Pull Requests on our Jira tickets. That worked out fine and I now tried to establish an automation rule, to automatically move jira tickets from status 'Code Review' to 'Testing' as soon as the PR is merged. I watched a few videos to set up the automation rule, but I can not get it to work. There's also no entries in the log of the automation or anything.

I just can not figure out why it is not working. Can anyone give me a hint, please?

Hi @Lisa Zanini

Adding to Sebastian's answer...

Integration with Azure DevOps is not natively supported with Jira Cloud.  Please see this suggestion to add that, with a search link to the marketplace for addons: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-20460

And even with the addons, there appear to be some limitations, as indicated by this other suggestion / defect: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-25816

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi @Lisa Zanini

Please contact with add-on vendor to confirm if Automation for Jira is working with it. I didn't find anything that app is compatible with Automations actions.
