Hey Emilee -

Great roundup of marketplace apps! I couldn't live without Automation for JIRA.

Such an invaluable tool for sending automated emails, transitioning requests, creating some really awesome triage automations - I could go on for days. If you're a less technical user who wants functionality as close as possible to scriptrunner, you'll want to check this out.
