Loop through issues, if condition is met, send email but not every time

Question

Hi Team,

I have a bunch of filters defined.

Using filters ID I can grab a list of issues like so:

filter=12394 OR filter =12300 OR filter = 12268

There is user defined field lets call it assignee2 in each issue which is set to a user like an assignee.

say there are 5 issues in my list where assignee2 is set to Sam.

I like to create a list of {{issue.url}} and we are done looping through the issue send an email with those issue urls all in one email instead of sending 5 emails.

How is this possible?

right now i can send an email every time i find an issue where assignee2 is not empty with issue url in the email, but i like to combine that result into one email

Thank you for that information.

You appear to have most of the parts needed in the rule, with some adjustments:

* Remove any JQL with the scheduled trigger
* Instead, only use the JQL with the Lookup Issues action, and add the condition you have on the Quarterback field to the JQL
* Your rule can then send just one email, iterating over the values in the Lookup Issues results

For an example of that, please look here:

Hi Bill,

Thank you for your reply. This was approach to this. Using schedule trigger with JQL. I know how to approach this in say python but I cannot figure out with Jira automation.

Thanks a million.
