How can I display the epic name in a rule?

[Natalia Mojica]

Hello, I created a rule so that every time someone creates an epic, jira automation sends me an email with the name of that epic (I use this, but the field {issue.summary} is not working)

• A new epic/project ({issue.summary}) was added to the creative board by [~accountid:{{issue.reporter.accountId}}]

For example, if the epic is: epic2024 created by Natalia:

• A new epic/project (epic2024) was added to the creative board by Natalia

Short answer is your smart language is deficient {issue.summary} needs to be {{issue.summary}}.

Below are steps/long answer for setting up this automation using Jira Automation:

1. Navigate to Automation: Log in to your Jira instance and go to the project where you want to set up the automation.

2. Create a New Rule:

   • Look for an option like "Automate" or "Automation" in your Jira interface.
   • Click on "Create rule" or "Create new rule".

3. Set Trigger:

   • Choose the trigger event. In this case, select "Issue created".
   • Specify the issue type as "Epic".

4. Define Conditions (if needed):

   • Optionally, you can add conditions such as project or issue type to narrow down when this rule should run.

5. Add Action:

   • Choose the action "Send email".
   • Enter your email address in the recipient field.
   • Customize the email subject and body using available variables like {{issue.key}} and {{issue.summary}} to include relevant details about the epic.

6. Save and Enable:

   • Save your rule and ensure it's enabled.

Hi @Natalia Mojica , can you try {{issue.key}}?
