JMWE - Sending issues in batches using callRest function

[Hugo Michelez]

Hi all, 

I'm trying to create a post-function that posts all issues for which the status has changed to a dedicated endpoint on an hourly basis.

As such, I've created a Scheduled Action. 

Every hour, all issues matching the following JQL posted: project = MY_PROJECT and type in (Bug, Task, Review, Sub-task) AND status changed AFTER -1h

Here the post-function I have so far: 

{# Set the URL of the API endpoint #}
{% set url = "https://mycompany/endpoint" %},

{# Set the headers for the request, including the auth token #}
{% set headers = {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Authorization": "Token abcde"
} %}

{# Set the body of the request, using the issue data #} | 
{% set body = {
"issue": issue
} %}

{# Make the POST request and store the response #}
{% set response = url | callRest( verb="POST", options = {headers : headers} , body=body) | dump(2) %}

However, I realized that the webhooks are sent individually (per updated issue), and not in batch. Is there a way to change this ?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Hugo Michelez 

The workaround is to modify the jql selector to return just one issue (limit the result to one issue) and then, in the post function, use the searchIssues Nunjucks filter to run the same jql search to retrieve the whole list of issues. 

However, you'll need to limit the fields returned by the issue search, otherwise you'll run out of memory.

It works perfectly!

Thanks a lot, @David Fischer
