Send an email when an issue is created to a user decided by a custom field's value

rsud

I have a Custom field "Assigned to Group" in which I have the following values:

1. Development

2. Test

3. Requirements.

When a defect is entered, the author has to select a value for this "Assigned to Group" field.

I am looking to associate an email with each of these options and then trigger an email to be sent to that address.

Basically, IF "Assigned to Group" = Development, THEN email rrr@sss.com

Hi rsud,

Is this all part of a workflow or does an email has to be sent every time the field 'Assigned to Group' changes?

For custom "notification schemes", you will need to script that JIRA.

Use ScriptRunner [free], or JJUPIN [paid] (disclaimer: I'm behind JJUPIN).

We have even more, but I don't think it will help you, anyway you can extract some info from it: http://confluence.kepler-rominfo.com/display/TR/Email+Issue+from+Blitz+Actions

Both. The email is to be generated when the issue is first created, and then subsequently each time when the field is changed. Thanks.

Hi rsud,

Sending an email when the Issue is created can be done with the script runner plugin. Do the following steps:

1) Install the script runner plugin. This will add some extra post functions to the workflow editor.

2) Add 3 Script Post-Functions (one for each group) to the Create transition of the workflow. Use the 'Send a custom mail' scripted post function for each of these. The condition will be a comparision of the 'Assigned to Group' values.

The advantage of using the script runner plugin is that you don't have to write the code that sends the email, but you only have to create the necessary templates. This will save you a lot of work.

Because only one condition of the 3 post script functions evaluates to 'true' only one email will be sent.

Assign to Group field is updated AND Assigned to Group field == Development

Hi Rsud,

You should also take a look at Notification Assistant for JIRA.

It lets you setup notifications based on JQL really easy. You can either let this be event triggered (i.e. check every time e.g. an issue is created) or schedule it. Like Every day @ noon check if somethng important needs to notified.

You can send either email to users, groups or even custom email-addresses or you can send the notifications to Hipchat if you have that tool in house.

Hope that helped!
