How to send automation email 3 days prior to start date

Question

I am trying to send an automation email out to assignee 3-5 days prior to their start date. How would the automation process begin.

Hi @Darius Fields

Not sure if you are open to use 3rd party apps to solve this, however, I'd like to invite you to check out our app:

Notification Assistant for Jira

It allows to create fully customizable notifications where you can set a schedule and filter them based on a number of conditions (including the start date).

Feel free to reach out.

Hello @Darius Fields

You can use the Schedule trigger to run an automation daily or a chosen interval.

Then you can either just send out a Notification or compound a list of issues for each distinct assignee.

This is an automation we are using to send out a list of issues per distinct assignee for all issues due the next 3 days so they won't get spammed for each single issue that is due.

If this is too compilated feel free to let me know.

Best regards
