Email notification to a group/users after a release in Jira

[Sam]

Hi, when we release a version in jira, do we have an option to send email notification to users or particular group? Can someone provide me best way to do this.

Hi, 

I created listener and gave email address and template but when i release from a project the listener is failing. Runner.AbstractScriptListener and java.lang.IllegalArgumentException error. These are the errors. Can you suggest me how to solve this.  Do we need to do any modifications to workflow?

Thank you

Hello,

It is not possible out of the box. You can develop you own plugin with a listener, which would catch the VersionReleaseEvent and send a email. Or you can use the ScriptRunner plugin. You can use the Send a custom event built-in listener. You would also make it fire on the VersionReleaseEvent.

Hi, 

We have script runner plugin. Will that send a email notification once we hit release button in jira? Is yes, can you tell me how to do that. I saw option listeners in script runner, can you tell me what to do.

Thank you

You need to create a listener called Send a custom email, then add the VersionReleaseEvent to the listener. Then provide template for your email and that would be all.
