How to notify me when only epic issues was created?

[Sergey Pavlov]

Hello, friends!

I want to receive some notifications (by email or any others) when anyone creates issue type of epic.
May be there is any extra configuration for this in settings area?

[Domenico Manzo]

There are a lot of ways to receive this information. The one of the simplest solution:

1. Create and save new filter with JQL:

created > -15m AND issuetype = Epic

 2. Create new Filter subscription:

How simple! Great! Thank you! :)

No, they're issues, like any other, as far as notifications are concerned.

But you can do it. 

• Copy the workflow you currently have for Epics, so that you have a new one just for Epics. 
• Associate that workflow with Epics in the workflow scheme. 
• Go to Admin -> Issues -> Events, and add a custom one called something like "Epic created"
• Go to the Epic workflow and edit it
• Look for the "create" transition's post functions
• Change the "fire event" post-function to fire "Epic Created"
• Save the edited workflow
• Go to the project's notification scheme and change who needs to get the "Epic Created" email (you probably want to add in everyone who currently gets "issue created" as well)

Hi Sergey,

I have seen 3 way to solve your request:

1. You can use this plugin for faster customise notification

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.plugin.automation.jira-automation-plugin/server/overview

1.1. You need set jql query like "issuetype=Epic and project=A"

1.2. Then click action notify about this created event.

2. You can set post function in your workflow for Epic, send notification.

I hope this manual will help you https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/configure-a-custom-event-notification-for-a-specific-jira-workflow-transition-or-status-720831525.html

3. If you have scriptrunner you can write own listener or post  function with super cusomisation for crated epic .

Have a nice day! 

Cheers,

I've done it! :)

I just create web hook for slack with this configuration. Turned out better than I expected!
