Is there a way to listen to listen to jira events from the API?

[Christoph Roth]

Hi,

i am developing an application which should send an email if the user changes a custom field on a jira issue.  The language im using is C#.

Is there a way to listen to this kind of event using the Atlassian SKD?

If not, what else could I use?

Hello @Christoph Roth

JIRA .NET SDK is pretty limiting and no where close to the official Atlassian SDK which expects Java code.  Thus, if you want to write C# application then what you can do is to use web-hooks. Basically have your jira application sent your C# application  an webhook callback notification and once your C# application receives this Jira webhook notification then your application can send the email.

workaround:

-Remove the custom field from the edit screen.

-Add the custom field to a screen on a global transition (from all statuses)

-Fire an event on this transition.

-Configure the notification scheme to send an email on this event.

Hi @Christoph Roth

You can use built in Listeners in JIRA or you can event create and trigger a custom listener.

For your use case I think , Issue Update event with condition on you custom field should be enough.

Follow the Atlassian documentation here :

Hi @Prakhar Srivastav {Appfire},

it seems like it isn't possible to acess these listeners from the Atlassian.SDK(.NET) 

I only find Java examples using the Atlassian Plugin SDK. Is there a way to achieve my goal using C#?
