Jira Automation send slack alert 30 minutes before deployment

[vv]

Hello how would I go about setting up automation to send slack alert 30 minutes before deployment? 

I have a status called Pre-build and custom field on issue with deployment time.

Hi @vv and welcome to the Community!

I would use an automation rule with a scheduled trigger that runs e.g. every 5 minutes and runs a JQL filter that looks like this:

"deployment time" < 30m AND status = Pre-build

When this retrieves issues, it will execute actions on all issues returned by the filter. So you can send out your Slack notification and I would recommend to somehow flag an issue (e.g. by adding a custom field to it - e.g. notification sent - that you can update and use in your filter to avoid sending out notifications every five minutes after the first run.

Hope this helps!
