Email Automation with Multiple Sprints

[Christopher Reynolds]

Hello!

I am wanting to send some email automation when a new sprint starts that includes a list of all issues, summaries, etc included in that sprint.

Where it gets tricky is the way my company does their sprint cycles (this is not the right way to do it, I know), they keep the sprints open, even after dev complete, while the QA team does their work (QA is backlogged heavily). At any given time we could have 3 or more sprints open, so using the JQL openSprints() will just show all the open issues across multiple sprints. 

Without hard-coding the sprint name, is there a way to accomplish this?

Hi @Christopher Reynolds,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

If the automation triggers on Start sprint then you can use {{sprint.name}} as part of your lookup issues to get the issues in the sprint. The lookup issue JQL would look something like this:

sprint = {{sprint.name}}

Hi Mikael -

I just tried that, but got an error.

That's because you have spaces in the sprint name, so try this instead:

sprint = "{{sprint.name}}"

Thank you! This worked great! Cheers
