how will i set an alert on automation rule failure status ?

Question

I want to set alert for status of Automation for Jira Support(A4J) ,

for eg: Upon the execution of A4J rule, a status is generated(audit log). In the event of an error status, notification will be sent to slack.

Hi @Guruvachan Jain

As far as I know, notifications on Rule Execution Failures are only sent by email:

You cannot access the rule status from within the rule itself.

What problem are you trying to solve by doing this?  Knowing that may help the community to offer suggestions.

Until we know that...

There are no public REST API functions for automation rules yet, and only the rule status of failed can send an alert via email.

A possible work-around would be to structure your rules in such a way to detect errors, and to then send the Slack message under those conditions.

Kind regards,
