Need to send an email when a issue is added to an epic

Need to send an email when a issue is added to an epic

I am trying to figure out how to send an email when an issue is added to an epic. I have already written a groovy script on issue create to send an email if the new issue is in the epic but I cannot get one to work for tickets that are added to the epic after creation.

The main problem is there is a JIRA bug https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWSERVER-12299 that states just editing an epic will not trigger an "Issue Updated" listener.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how I can send an email when something is added to the epic?

Hello,

Try to catch the IssueLinkCreatedEvent event.

will that trigger if I am changing the ticket from epic1 to epic2?

I think so. Because the Epic Link field creates a link called Epic Link. Try to catch the event I mentioned above.

Try to make a listener for all events and have a look if it is triggered. If it is triggered, you can find later the event.
