Automation Attachments URL (JIRA Cloud)

[Dave Jackson]

Hi, Creating some custom notification templates.

Is there no way to include the attachment or attachment URL in the reply? I tried all the existing smart values here but it doesn't seem to include it.

Hi @Dave Jackson

I managed to get the attachment URL working using this answer

I'm not sure if you're using Automation for Jira - this is how I did it if you are:

1. Create a new rule, with a trigger - we used Issue Updated
2. Add an action, Send Email 
3. Select a To - such as Assignee
4. Enter your text into the "Content" box - including the attachments list using the below script
5. Press Save, name your rule and activate it

Script:

<ul>
{{#issue.attachment}}
<li><a href="{{content}}">{{filename}}</a></li>
{{/issue.attachment}}
</ul>

Hi @Ste Wright 

I get this error message when trying to download the attachment

{"errorMessages":["You do not have permission to view attachment with id: 43978"],"errors":{}}

How can I fix this?

Hi @Hend Salem -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

As this is a very old thread, I recommend creating a new question, and perhaps adding a link to this one.  This will ensure the maximum number of people see your question to offer ideas.

And also, that error indicates what is says: the person trying to access the attachment does not have permission to do so.  Either the access is restricted within Jira, or the person does not have a Jira account, or the person is not logged into Jira.

Kind regards,
Bill

Hello, 

Was the ability to use a smart value in order to add the attachment file from the trigger issue to an automated email solved? very interested in this functionality.

Hi @Dave Jackson 

It appears this is not possible yet, and there is an item in the automation backlog to add it:

Best regards,
