Automation for jira - How to send parameter in the webhook URL?

[Elvy Feliz]

Hello,

I have a simple "Send Web Request" using Automation for Jira. The webhook URL is as follow,

http://localhost/job/ping/buildWithParameters?HOST={{issue.CustomField.10059.value}}&token=123456789123456789

The web request runs successfully and it triggers the jenkin build successfully. However, the {{issue.CustomField.10059.value}} comes out empty and Jenkins doesn't received anything. Doesn't matter what field I put there (even defaults like the issue key) it's never sent to Jenkins. 

Anyone know how I can fix this?

Hey there Elvy,

If you add a Log action with the value {{issue.CustomField.10059.value}} before the webhook and check the audit logs, does the value appear? What type of custom field is it?

In general, the syntax for a custom field is:

{{issue.customfield_10059}} (case is important) or you can address it by name

{{issue.My custom field name}}

See more information at https://docs.automationforjira.com/issues/find-the-correct-smart-value-for-fields-in-jira.html#finding-your-smart-value

Hi Chai,

I actually fixed it by adding a Log action before sending the web request. That seems to fixed the problem. Thanks for the help.
