JQL for Automation Rule

Joshua Cotterell

I can run a JQL search to find all issues assigned to a user. But I want to create an automation rule that only sends one daily email if they have issues assigned, not one for each issue assigned to them.

The rule isn't the problem, what I'm looking for is the JQL to only check if a user has issues - yes or no - then send an email. Is this possible?

Hi @Joshua Cotterell 

As you are using Jira Server version, a couple of options you could try are:

  1. Create a JQL filter to find the issues for currentUser() and then have each person individually subscribe to it
  2. Create an automation rule for each person, on a scheduled trigger, which then uses the {{issues}} smart value to send one email by treating the result as a batch.  Please look here for how to do that: https://confluence.atlassian.com/automation/bulk-handling-of-issues-993924653.html

Best regards,

Bill
