[Levan Murusidze ლევან მურუსიძე]

Hello , 

I m interested if there is any way to automate this task , when pull request approved in Github , change the corresponding task status in Jita , 

Can it be done with Webhook ore some kind of automation with Jenkins server ? 

Thanks

Hi @Levan Murusidze ლევან მურუსიძე ,

I believe Jira automation should help you with this. There are special DevOps triggers available, so if your cloud Jira software is integrated with Github, you should be able to create automation rule like this:

• WHEN: Pull request merged
• THEN: Transition the issue to: some status.

See here for more info, section DevOps triggers.

yeah, but the PR might be approved but not yet merged. 

E.g. in our workflow the PR is first approved by developers, and then it is passed to QA. but not merged until both approved the PR. 

But if  I wanted to change the Jira ticket from `Waiting for Code Review` to `Waiting for QA`, there seems not to exist an event that:
