Can i write an automation to send an email with new high priority bugs in a list?

[Evan cohen]

One of my duties as a Senior for my team is to write an email every hour with the new bugs that were written within the last hour. I would love to be able to automate this to grab the build number, place the bug in an email, and send it off on the top of every hour. 

I have not tried automation before, but just wanted to see if it was possible before I dive into it.

Here is an example of my email to the team

Good morning,

The purpose of this email thread is to provide visibility on all new High issues.

We have encountered these new High issues on the Release ######## build:

Welcome, @Evan cohen :-)

Trigger an automation every hour, running a "lookupIssues" action for the latest issues of a certain prio, then sending out a mail listing these - that certainly can be done.

The catch is that you somehow want to connect it with your releases/builds/versions. It's hard to say what exactly you require here, and whether it can be done. Just printing the fixVersion value for each found issue should work, though

Just give it a try! the automation template library certainly will help you to get started.
