Automation Rule that Assigns an Issue, then Emails he Assignee

Ernesto Donate April 15, 2022

The Rule I have is  set to Run 

  • When an Issue is created
  • Check a JQL Condition
  • Then Assign the Issue in Round Robin format to a person in a Group
  • Then Send Email to the Assignee

However, the email isn't sent, and when look in the Audit Log there is a message:

"There is no value set for the field:

assignee"
Is it possible for a rule to set an assignee and then email the assignee?
Thank You

Hi @Ernesto Donate 

Please before sending the email step add the following action : 

Re-fetch issue data

Hi @Ernesto Donate 

Yes, and...to the answer from @Mohamed Adel

When using the Issue Created trigger, sometimes the rule can start before all of the issue's data is available.  Adding a Re-fetch action immediately after your trigger will slow down your rule and try to reload the data before proceeding with any other processing.

Kind regards,
Bill
