How can I fetch GitHub Actions build references in Jira? {{build.refs}} smart value returns null.

[Priyanka Agrawal]

Consider a scenario where I have connected my GitHub repository to my Jira site, and I am configuring Jira automation rules to track my development and deployment status of GitHub on Jira.

I have a GitHub actions workflow that builds my code for every environment based on the branch to which the PR has been merged. For example, if a PR is merged to develop branch, the workflow builds the code for development environment; if a PR is merged to QA branch, the workflow builds the code for QA environment, etc. The Jira automation rule has been configured in such a way that the rule gets triggered when the build succeeds and if {{build.refs}} contains develop or QA, it changes the status of Jira issue to "Deployed to the dev environment" or "Deployed to the QA environment" based on the value of {{build.refs}}.

But {{build.refs}} smart value isn't returning anything; hence my rule is not working. What can be the issue? Or is there any other solution that can be implemented for my problem statement?

Let me know if any other details are required.

Thanks!

Hi @Priyanka Agrawal 

As I understand your rule don't work at all. What do you use as a trigger of your rule?

Hi @Sebastian Krzewiński ,

Thanks for your response!

I am using "Build succeeds" as a trigger for my rule.

I have attached a screenshot of the entire rule for your reference:
