I need to create some JIRA automations but they are fairly complicated. I would like to be able to import a CSV to create my automation as it would be easier to setup in an excel table first. How do I do this?
Thanks!
You can import automation rules from JSON (but not from CSV).
JSON is essentially a structured plaint text file that you can edit with any text editor. But there are friendlier editors available for it that hide the structure... I guess you can get a pretty similar experience like what you are used to in Excel.
Hi @Jcapella,
Unfortunately, Jira doesn't support importing automations from CSV. You'll need to create them manually through the UI.
Alternative approaches:
What type of automations are you creating? Field updates, transitions, notifications? The approach might vary based on your specific use case.
Feel free to DM me if you need help with the setup!
Hope this helps!

Hi @Jcapella -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!
I am unclear what you want to accomplish. Do you want to do one of these?
Import issues into Jira from a CSV file: https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/importing-data-from-csv-938847533.html
Import automation rules (from a previous export): https://confluence.atlassian.com/automation101/import-and-export-jira-automation-rules-1456179675.html
Kind regards,

Hi @Jcapella
Unfortunately, it works only with JSON, but you can try to use some AI to transform your csv into JSON

I would like to setup all my tickets outside of JIRA because it is way simplier, as indicated in the first link. Then instead of importing those as tickets, I want to import them as a jira automation. The jira automation interface is very cumbersome, and very hard to manage the creation of 40 tickets all linked to each other. I would like to define what my automation should be and import it into JIRA
