Send email to several users

[Maro Hamamjyan]

Hello,

I need to send email to users who are in a group user picker filed. The users can be changed. What API should I use to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

You would need a scripting app for it. You could use such appss as Power Scripts, ScriptRunner, Automation for Jira. All apps are different in API, that is why I can not give examples for all plugins.

But if you have the Power Scripts add-on, then your code would look like this:

sendEmail("projectmanager", {#{Your group field anem}}, "Transition executed", currentUser() + " has executed a transition");

 Hello Alexey,

I prefer to use API, can you help with that?

Which API?

I tried this one:  

POST /rest/api/2/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/notify

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.6.1/?&_ga=2.151790077.57291028.1522048569-1716142108.1508839203#api/2/issue-notify

I get this error: (Approvers is several user picker field in JIRA, not in AD)

I think you would need to develop a program using Jira Rest Api. First get the value of the field for the required issue: https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.6.1/?&_ga=2.146847351.1131713726.1561299576-1149622764.1547637396#api/2/issue-getIssue

and then use the notify rest method to send a email.
