Is there a way we can get a notification if a story is added to an Epic

[Matthew Ford]

I am not familiar with this scripting

Can someone help me with:

create a scriptrunner listener for an "issue created" event,

and in the listener
check if there is an "Epic-Story Link" type link, if yes
get the Epic linked to the issue
get the watchers of the Epic
send a mail to these watchers

Hello Matthew,

I hope you are having a nice day.

I'm not sure on how you can perform such automation with Scriptrunner plugin, however, I'm aware of some solutions which do not require any codes.

I understand that you would like to send an e-mail notifying all the Epic watchers when it gets linked to a Story. Is that correct?

If i got it right, I would like to suggest you try Automation for JIRA plugin. You can simply customize the automation below to achieve your need:

Here's the background of the rule configured above:

- When the issue is created, the automation triggers and check if it has any Epics linked to it

- If it has, it will send a notification for all Epic watchers

P.S: Use the Smart value {{issue.watchers.emailAddress}} to reference the e-mail address of your Epic watchers.

Let me know if this information helps!

That plugin costs 3300 dollars.  And we already have Scriptrunner

I was given this answer:

def issue1 = event.getIssueLink().getSourceObject()
def issue2 = event.getIssueLink().getDestinationObject()

issue1.getIssueType().getName() == "Epic" && issue2.getIssueType().getName() == "Story"

But this is not working. 

Getting this error:
