Hi!

We're looking for a way to count the number of linked issues to a Jira card. Specifically,  we're looking to count the number of "Web links" attached to a Jira card. 

Where we're getting stuck is that we can't find a way for Jira to trigger any field updates or other automated actions when a new web link is added.

Context: We're looking for a way to automate our internal QA process. We're hoping to count the number of "web links" attached to a Jira card and alert us in Slack once a Jira card reaches a certain threshold of "web links." 

Has anyone else had success implementing this, or might have any ideas on how we can approach this? 

Thanks!

Hi @Karinna 

Can you share a bit of the context of this requirement? Why count the amount of the links for instance?

Hey @Zoey Wang

Sure! Happy to share more. We're looking for a way to automate our internal QA process. We're hoping to count the number of "web links" attached to a Jira card and alert us in Slack once a Jira card reaches a certain threshold of "web links".

Hi @Karinna 

Automation for jira doesn't support managing Web links via any available components.

However, if you would like consider count number of URLs in description as an alternative, check the post here .

Then calculate the number against the threshold accordingly. 

 

On top of native Jira scope, you might want to take a look at another post which indicates two other possible solutions to identify Web Links: third-party app and REST API.
