Creating an automation

[Deleted user]

I need help creating an automation that sends a notification one day before the start date of an issue

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

You would need to create an automation that runs on a daily schedule for this. You would use the Schedule trigger for that.

https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-automation-triggers/#Scheduled

You would include in that Scheduled trigger a JQL statement to select the issue you want.

To get the issues that have a start date of the next day you would use a JQL like this:

"Start date" = startOfDay(1)

You should test the JQL through the View All Issues screen before using it in the rule.

There is a box in the Scheduled Trigger configuration screen that lets you limit the issues to only those that have changed since the last time the rule ran. You will want to uncheck that box.

After the Trigger you would add a Send Email action.

Note that an email will be sent for each issue that is returned by the JQL in the Trigger.

Did you try out making an automation rule? Did that work out for you?
