How can I receive an email every time a project is created?

[Marcelo Cid (Antiguo)]

Hello,

I need to receive an email every time a project is created in Jira, the project must have the name of the person who created it and the project name.

Ex: Marcelo Cid has created project 123

Hi Marcelo - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You can create an automation for Jira rule that sends you can email when a project is created. Here is some more information about automation if you are not familiar with it:

There are two types of automation:

• Global: In the Free version, you get 100 executions per product, per month
• Project: In all versions, you get unlimited executions per month

Automation Basics: https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/guides/expand-jira/automation

You can do this via global rules to apply to all projects also. You'll need to be a Jira Admin/Site Admin, go to Jira Settings > System > Automation Rules (left-hand menu).

For more on using Automation For Jira see these help pages.

Jira Automation Template Library to help get you started quickly:

For your need, you would create a new rule based on a Project Created trigger.

Hello, I know about Jira automations and when I create the project, I get the mail, I just have a problem in the JSON that is used since I have the subject of the mail.

{{initiator.displayName}} has created the project {{project.displayName}} (the latter I don't know if it is correct, I want to show the name of the project that was created)

Try project.name or project.value instead of displayName.
