Hello, 

I would like to send the latest comment of an issue as an email using the regular JIRA Automation. I can set up the when, if and then part, but in the Send Email action I see no way how I could add the latest comment.

 

Thanks

Hi @IT Department 

Please try this.

{{issue.comments.last}} 

Best regards

Hi, 

Thank you for the suggestion, but JIRA reponds with: 

You can't use ${issue.comments.last} with this rule. Check the variable dropdown menu for a list of variables you can use with this rule.

Worked fine for me set like this in the Contect section:

{{comment.author.displayName}} at {{comment.updated.shortTime}} : "{{issue.comments.last}}"

If you don't find the smart field in the notification engine that you're looking for, create an automation with the appropriate trigger & condition filter then add the Send Email action.

Not sure about the core automation, but out app, Notification Assistant for Jira makes it easy to create notifications and templates that include the last comment.
