Is there a way I can set up automation rule to run in a sequential order?

[Madhumita Katta]

I have these 2 automation rules

Rule 1: Send email to customers when a new public comment is added. 

Rule 2: Update comment visibility to Internal only based on the "internal" tag on the comment. 

I do not see a way to order the automation rules so that Rule 2 always runs before Rule 1. 

Is that possible to do?

If Jira send the email before the comment can be set to Internal Only then the whole purpose of Rule 2 is void.

Hi @Madhumita Katta - Perhaps you can consolidate the two rules into 1?  I don't have the specifics of your two rules, but perhaps something like this?

• TRIGGER: Issue Commented
• IF CONDITION: Your internal tag condition
  • Action: Update Comment visibility
• ELSE CONDITION
  • Action: Send Email

It is possible if you make your second rule to trigger on an incoming webhook, you can then trigger the second  rule from the first one using a web request.

@Madhumita Katta you can use two ways to sequence the automations:

• The first: using Actions of send webrequest / incoming webrequest
• The second: using a custom field to trigger (in the first automation you can flagged the automation to set a specific value, then in the second automation, you can trigger the automation basead on value change)

I hope I helped you.
