How to use organization members as email recipients

[Christian Bär]

Using Jira Automation with Jira Servicemanagement ( former Servicedesk) it's not possible to choose the organization field for email recipients.

Even with smart values I see no option.

E.g., something like for the watchers field would be sufficient: {{issue.watchers.emailAddress}}

Any suggestions?

I have not personally done this but believe you could create a group that equates to the members of an organization. Of course this can be an added level of complexity when trying to maintain both organization and group. Hence why I have avoided.

That is exactly what I'm about to do. There is an Add On available to sync from groups to organizations ( unfortunately not the other way around )  and my customer is preparing the data right now. 

Then I'm going to fill a hidden multi group picker field on changes of the organizations field and use those groups in automation rules to send the notification.

Cheers,
Christian

Same problem here. Trying to send a mail to all members of the organisation selected on the ticket. Not available as an option. Came across the link below to use smart values but did not work

Hi @Christian Bär ,

Just wanting to clarify that I understand what you're asking. You're wanting to send an email to everyone in a particular organisation?

Hello Simmo,

that is right, and I Want to do it with an Automation Rule of the Automation App.

Cheers,
