Add Hyperlink to the email send out by Script Listener

[kukabgd]

Hi everyone,

I have created script listener with ScriptRunner that iterates through all subtasks and their linked issues, and then the email is send out with the results.

Everything works great but I would like to know how to create a hyperlink in email body, since 

sendEmail("test@company.com", "Testing", emailBody)

is giving only string back. The reason I want to do this is that the link is really long, and it doesn't look nice. So is there a way to enter HTML tag to the email body? or any other way to insert hyperlink.

Here is the code I'm using:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLink;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import com.atlassian.jira.mail.Email
import com.atlassian.mail.server.SMTPMailServer


  IssueManager issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager();
  def issueLinkManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager()
  def issue = event.getIssue() 
  String emailBody
  def activityField = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_13001"); 
  def findingsLinkField = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_18601"); 

  CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager();

// Gets all subtasks of the projects.
  final Collection < Issue > subTaskObjects = issue.getSubTaskObjects();
  if(subTaskObjects != null && subTaskObjects.size() != 0)
    {
      for (Issue subTaskObject : subTaskObjects) 
        {
           if(subTaskObject.issueType.name == "Test Review")
              {
                 if(subTaskObject != null)
                    {
                   // Gets all linked issues of the subtasks
                       final List <IssueLink> issuelinks = issueLinkManager.getInwardLinks(subTaskObject.getId());
                       if(issuelinks != null && issuelinks.size() != 0)
                         {
                            for (IssueLink issueLink : issuelinks) 
                               {
                                   def mutablelink = issueManager.getIssueObject(issueLink.getSourceId()) 
                                   if (issueLink.getIssueLinkType().name == "Test finding" && issueLink != null && mutablelink.status.name == "open")
                                     {
                                        def activity = mutablelink.getCustomFieldValue(activityField);
                                        def findingsLink = mutablelink.getCustomFieldValue(findingsLinkField);
                                        
                                        // I would like to add this link to hyper link
                                        def url = "mailto:test@company.com?subject=Test%20Project%20Finding:%20Comment%20from%20Responsible%20("+ mutablelink.key +")&body=Please%20send%20a%20short%20status%20update%20for%20this%20Test%20Review%20Finding%20to%20the%20already%20entered%20recipient.%20A%20comment%20to%20the%20Finding%20will%20be%20added%20automatically%20in%20Q-Tool%20where%20the%20responsible%20QE-CS%20will%20react%20accordingly.%0D%0A"
                                        URL obj = new URL(url)

                                        emailBody = emailBody + "Finding: ${mutablelink.key}<br> activityField: ${activity} \n " + "Url: ${obj} "   



                                      }
                                 }
                          } 
                     } 
               }
         }

    }

def sendEmail(String emailAddr, String subject, String body) {
    SMTPMailServer mailServer = ComponentAccessor.getMailServerManager().getDefaultSMTPMailServer()
    if (mailServer) 
      {
         Email email = new Email(emailAddr)
         email.setSubject(subject)
         email.setBody(body)
         mailServer.send(email)
         log.debug("Mail sent")
      } else {
          log.warn("Please make sure that a valid mailServer is configured")
          }
        }
sendEmail("test@company.com", "Testing", emailBody)

use

email.setMimeType("text/html")

and then add the html hyperlink in the body.
