send email reminder to Contributors (additional assignees)

Question

Hi all,

I am trying to set an automation to automatically send an email 3 days prior to the due date, but I would like to send it to not just the Assignee, but also the Contributors (additional assignees).

Could someone help, please?

Thank you,

João

Hi @João Fael ,

If you are still looking for alternatives, our app Notification Assistant for Jira allows you to use any custom field as a recipient for notifications.

Hi @João Fael ,

Welcome to the community !!

Go to project settings --> Automation --> Create new rule

* Select trigger as Scheduled
* Select the appropriate time when you need it to be triggered.
* Select "Run a JQL search and execute actions for each issue in the query." and enter JQL as "duedate = StartofDay(3d)"
* Under actions, select Send email* Select Assignee and other user picker field (example: Contributors) in "TO"
* Add required subject
Example: {{issue.key}} will be due in 3 days
* Under Content, add required texts 
Example: {{issue.key}} will be due on {{issue.duedate}}. Please action at the earliest

* Save the rule

This rule will send notification to the users in Assignee and Contributor field at the selected time daily.

Your Rule will look as below:

To send to the watchers, try this smart value:
