Send an email to user added to a specific group

[Bertrand Delaitre]

Hi,

We want to send a "Welcome" email when user get access to jira (ie added to specific group).

We don't have specific plugin yet but using something like ScriptRunner is an option.

Can someone give me a solution on how to do that?

I finally got a solution with your help.

Running ScriptRunner Listener "Send a custom email (non-issue events)" on event "GroupMembershipCreatedEvent" with this script in the Condition and Configuration parameter

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.user.util.UserManager

def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager() as UserManager
def user = userManager.getUserByName(event.getEntityName())
mail.setTo(user.emailAddress)

def result = false
if(event.getGroupName() == "jira-users") {
    result = true
}

return result

Hi @Bertrand Delaitre 

You can create a Listener "Send a custom email (non-issue events)"

Apply to Global

Events: GroupMembershipCreatedEvent

Condition and Configuration:

result = false

if(event.getGroupName() == "YOURGROUPNAME"){

result = true

}

return result

 Then you can configure the template of the object and body.

You can access some information such the username of the user using $event.getEntityName() in the template.

Thanks. I've just installed a trial version of scriptrunner but using the listener you mention, I can't find how to specify the "current" user as the recepient of the email.

You can configure the To: address dynamically by supplying a script in the Condition and Configuration parameter

E.g to send an email to the current logged in user you would do something like this:

mail.to = currentUser?.emailAddress
