By creating new sprint a new story is created in this new sprint (automation)

[Jeroen Kotterlink]

HI all,

I'm looking for a solution in automation that when I create a new sprint, a new story is created in this sprint. I tried several routes in "automation" but so far I didn't succeed. Any ideas?

with regards, Jeroen

@Jeroen Kotterlink I see that your queries are answered on another post. Just for our global audience viewing this post for answers, I would like to share the answer below :)

As per your ask, when the sprint is created, you want to an issue to be created automatically and added to this newsprint itself.

Using the trigger of sprint created, it must be possible and you do not have to add any additional steps to add sprints. The reason being, when the sprint is only created, it will be empty.  You can try the below

• Trigger: sprint created
• Action: Create issue, Assigning it to the new sprint with {{sprint.id}}
