Using JIRA core for business flow automation involving excel updates?

[Abhishek Singh]

Hi! I have never used JIRA cloud before and I have peculiar issue to address. The thing is my client goes through an excel update process which involves multiple approval process. We thought JIRA might be a go tool to develop custom business process flow but where I am stuck is that how to make this excel update traverse through  the entire process flow chain. For example I would ideally want to create a workflow for my project and then every new excel update request would be an issue and I want automated actions at the end of each transition. So my question is it possible generate automated notifications based on when excel sheet update are attached at the end of each activity in the process flow? And finally once the final approval has happened I want the final excel sheet to be pulled using some kind of API service which could then be fed to a python script which updates a database with new values?

I know I am asking a lot here but even a general guidance on where to start and what to look at would be great! Thank you all!

If you are on cloud, you can use a web hook

Find or write a post-function addon that does "create subtask".

There are actually a couple in the marketplace already, and I'd start with them, they're good.  If they don't work for you, consider the script runner addon.
