Auto-assign work based on your team’s capacity
Your team may have a backlog of tasks that anyone can work on. Rather than manually select work, you can use automation to automatically distribute work to your team.
There is a template rule that automatically distributes work. You can use this rule to start and modify it to your needs.

Automatically create sub-tasks
You may have a task with a set of sub-tasks that your team uses frequently. To save developers time and effort, you can automatically create and populate those sub-tasks.

Automatically trigger actions in Jira from integrations
You can use automation to trigger actions in your Jira project using events and information from other products, like messaging applications, databases, calendars, and repositories. You’ll do this using webhooks, a simple data integration between two applications.
This automation requires you to get a webhook from an external application. Those products should have documentation to help you.
