Need to automate assignees based on states of a JIRA and states based on a new build

Question

I need to automate assignees based on states of a JIRA, I think there is an add on for automation I can use, but I think we may need an upgraded version of JIRA or be using JIRA server.  It seems so simple on this article below, I just need to click an admin dropdown(which I don't see anywhere even though I am an admin of our JIRA instance):

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1215460/automation-for-jira?hosting=cloud&tab=installation

I want to move through:
To Do -> In Progress -> Fixed -> Building -> Review
When an issues moved to fixed it should be assigned to a bot. When a build is triggered it should move to Building, and when complete to Review (with appropriate reference as to which build to verify the change).

Any ideas?

Thanks!

You do it in the UI.

Go to project settings -> Workflows. Find your workflow. Edit it. Then find the required transition and add the Update Issue post function.

You can find more info about post functions here:

Would this need to be a Python or SQL script or is there some way to do this in the UI?
