Automate selection and submission of an Action menu selection

Tony I

Upon creation of a milestone (or even an issue), is it possible to automate the selection and submission of an Action? In this example, I would like to automate selecting the "Value Release - Add Required Forms" action. Then I will work on automatically submitting the forms, but need to automate this step first if possible.

 

What would be the component(s) to use in an automation to accomplish this?

Hi @Tony I -

The Actions that you've screenshot there are Automations themselves. They are showing up in that menu because they have Manual triggers.

If you want an to automatically trigger "Value Release - Add Required Forms" from an issue creation, you would simply need to copy that rule and change the trigger to be: Issue created (and presumably you'd want to check conditions like if it's a particular project or something.)

Please let me know if that doesn't make sense.
