Hi @Angel 

The automation Sprint Started trigger requires selecting the board.

I believe one way to make it generic (regardless of sprint, board, etc.) is using a site webhook on any sprint started (passing the sprint ID), and using that to trigger a rule with an Incoming Webhook Trigger.  The rule would use the sprint ID and JQL to find the relevant issues.  If you want to try that, here is some information to get you started:

• https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/manage-webhooks/
• https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/webhooks/
• https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-automation-triggers/#Incoming-webhook

A person with Jira Site Admin (or higher) permissions will need to create the webhook in the site admin configuration.

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi @Bill Sheboy 

That sounds possible, so I tried but I dont know why doesnt works to my instance.

I created 2 webhooks one is configurate to using the "trigger rule incomning webhook"

the other one I configutate with requestbin. With requestbin works but in my automation rule the request is not executed. I created with rest api and web interface too.

Do you know what happen?

Best regards,

Hi @Angel,

Can you be more specific about what that "same action" would be?

You might be a little bit confused about boards versus projects. A board can contain issues from multiple projects (not boards) and when a sprint starts, this happens from a single board. If you start 2 different sprints, those are - by definition - 2 separate actions.

I know I am making assumptions here, but I guess that you want to perform certain actions on issues from different projects that are in the same sprint. If that is true, you should be able to trigger those when the sprint starts on the single board where you can see them all.

If you want to trigger actions when different sprints are being started, you will need multiple automation rules: one for each sprint being started.

Hope this helps!

Hi @Walter Buggenhout

We need send an email and execute a transition when sprints starts. These sprints are in differents scrum boards but the automation rule allow only a one board. I dont want create rule by board because we have around 50 boards.
