Scripting for Jira, simplified

[#1]

Hello Community,

I do not usually do announcements or talk about Adaptavist products as much as our Sales people would like me to. I believe in letting people choose the tools that are best for them.

But this time, I think this one could be of wide interest.  I have been writing code and scripts for years, and always disliked having to get all the frameworks, imports and structure around my simple logic.  I've watched members of my family and friends learn to code in far more visual ways than I ever had when I started out, mostly with Scratch

So, I'd like to announce Adaptavist's new Server App - AutoBlocks for Jira.  It is based on the Google Blockly Framework, which is a far more visual way to construct scripts, using drag-and-drop building blocks of functionality. 

This easy to use interface will free up your admin time from relentless customisation requests from your users as it also enables non-admins to create their own automations, with your delegated permission.

To find out more about AutoBlocks, including the current promotion giving you a year’s free usage of the app, have a read of our introductory blog.

And, of course, feel free to ask questions!

Ok @Nic Brough _Adaptavist_ , you cats have outdone yourself. I'll be getting rather up close and personal with this one.

For future planning, is there a possibility that this will make the leap to Data Center and/or Cloud?

@Nic Brough _Adaptavist_, looks like your very first ever article :) . How does it feel after posting it? :)

WOW Amazing!!! Good job I will take a try

@Nic Brough _Adaptavist_I can definitely get behind this idea especially if you can adapt it to the Cloud. Plus this style of scripting seems like a good way to break into using your tools especially for a LabVIEW programmer. 👍
