Automation to search for certain issues missing info > ping Slack daily

[Marije Pierson]

Hello,

I'm trying to setup automation that:

1. Search a Jira project daily for any issues that have no labels

2. Take those issues and post the links into a Slack channel.

I've managed to get as far as the scheduled rule with the JQL to generate a list of issues that would be missing labels:

project = "ST" AND created >= -1d AND labels IS EMPTY

But I'm a bit clueless as to how to do the next step. Or have I gone about it in the wrong way? 

Many thanks for any help.

Hi @Marije Pierson - You'll want something like this:

• TRIGGER: Scheduled Daily
  • Leave "Run a JQL search and execute actions for each issue in the query." Unchecked
• ACTION: Lookup Issues

  • project = "ST" AND created >= -1d AND labels IS EMPTY

• ACTION: Send Slack Message

  • {{#lookupIssues}}
    >  <{{url}} | {{key}}> :  {{summary}}
    {{/}}

Hi @Marije Pierson 

Yes, and...to Mark's answer...

Automation rules often require a bit of learning and experimentation.  To help get you started on creating your rule, please review this documentation and examples:
