Processing bulk results in an email

[Thomas Whiston]

Hi,

I'd like to use automation to produce a 'Summary Email' of issues due this week, this seems simple enough with a scheduled task and some JQL, but I'm struggling with how to process the email details in the template once I select the option to process the results in bulk. Is there a way to find out the keys available in the email template or what the variable name is to iterate over?

Thanks!

Hi Thomas,

currently we don't support sending a single notification for many issues that well. We have https://codebarrel.atlassian.net/browse/AUT-105 open to track this request currently.

If you are in server though, you can select the "Process all issues produced by this trigger in bulk" under the "More options" menu in your scheduled trigger.

Then in your e-mail template, you can iterate over the issues like this:

{{#issues}}
  * {{key}} - {{summary}}
{{/}}

This would produce a list like this:

* TEST-124 - first issue summary
* TEST-125 - second issue summary

Cheers,

That iteration will do the job for me. Thanks a lot!
