Bank Automation

[Siavosh Kasravi]

I like to write a program to send payment orders from Jira directly to Core Bank. I considered writing it as a post transition groovy script or as plug-in. Which solution is the best fit you think?

I should note that I already made the software in python.

I should also note that debugging scripts in Jira is a bit hard. No debugger, can't run it by demand, no output, etc.

For legal translation of payment orders, considering your existing Python solution, developing a Jira plug-in would likely provide a more robust and controlled integration with Core Bank. Plus, it could help overcome the debugging challenges you mentioned.

I should also note that debugging scripts in Jira is a bit hard. No debugger, can't run it by demand, no output, etc.

For this reason, I would be inclined to recommend against doing it in jira itself... any script more complex than an if/else statement can be a nightmare to work with. If you already have it working in Python, would it be possible to have it set up on a different server and have jira trigger it via webhook or something? I wrote a python script a couple months ago to do some data analysis stuff that I couldn't find a way to do in jira (nothing too complicated, just sends a weekly email with stats about a certain type of ticket), so I know it's possible to get the info about a jira ticket remotely via the export feature.

That is an option but the response of http is important and I am not sure a webhook is able to handle that or not.

Sorry, I'm not totally clear on what you mean. What do you mean by "the response of http is important"?

[Siavosh Kasravi]

What I meant was that Jira should act based on the response received from another server. I wasn't sure if Jira webhook can handle that.
