Do we have api to create automation rules.

[mayank goyal]

Hi,

Can we create the jira automation rules itself from rest API, I am able to create it via Web UI, but for better management I want create the automation rules using JIRA API. 

Do we have api to create automation rules, can we create automation rules remotly?

Thanks in advance!

I am afraid not.  The REST API does not (yet) expose any of the automation rule administration functions.

So, no, you cannot add/edit automation rules over the REST API.  One day, maybe, I know there are improvement requests open for it.

Hi @mayank goyal 

Yes, and...to what Nic notes, here are the suggestions to add that capability.  You may watch/vote for them to see progress:

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JIRAAUTOSERVER-229
• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-77049

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi Atlassian Team,

Any plans for supporting REST APIs for creating automation rules on the Forge platform.. its a much needed missing feature for the Developer community!

Cheers

Any updates on this topic? I have 10 projects that all need at least 2 automations to have basic functionality. Doing this by hand is very painfull.

@McGuire, Jonathan It is now possible to manage automation rule via REST APIs, see the documentation for more details here: The Automation REST API

Hi @mayank goyal ,

Please check the knowledgebase article - https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-extend-automation-for-jira-with-rest-api-calls-1021217952.html.

Let me know if that helps,

Hi @Suvradip Paul

Unfortunately, this is not what i am asking for, IIUC this article is about trigger/calling a rest api from the jira automation rule.

BUT

I want to know how to create the jira automation rules itself from rest API, I am able to create it via Web UI, but for better management I want create the automation rules using JIRA API.
