Jira Automation: How to reference a newly created issue key in an email

[Dimitrios Papadopoulos]

Dear all , 

i have created an automation where upon creation, i am assiging the ticket to me, change a field and put a comment.

Then i am triggering an email and i am trying to get the ticket number in the subject or the email body. 

However , i am not able to get the result i wish for.

Here is my workflow : 

I have read following threads : 

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/Jira-Automation-How-to-reference-a-newly-created-issue-key-in-an/qaq-p/1537181

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/Jira-Automation-Send-an-email-with-key-of-issue-created/qaq-p/1347484

But i could apply the solutions.

Thanks,

Dimitris

Hi @Dimitrios Papadopoulos 

The {{createdIssue}} and {{createdIssues}} smart values apply for any issues you create while the rule is running:

https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-issues/#--createdIssue--

To access the issue which triggered the rule, just use {{triggerIssue}} or just {{issue}} for the rule you showed.

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi @Bill Sheboy  , many thanks for the fast reply. 

I already have the {{issue.key}} in the rule here : 

But it does not work. 

I tried {{triggerIssue.key}} and it worked like a charm ! Much appreciated , thank you !

I am glad that helped, and...

Did you note that you misspelled it as {{issuse.key}} as that was probably another problem?
