For each watcher, do something

[Sean M]

I would like to be able to define an automation like this:

1. When issue updated
2. For each watcher on that issue
3. If the watcher is a member of group 'slack-notify'
4. Send Slack notification to @{{watcher}}

Step 2 appears to require some new functionality. We already have a 'for each returned issue' function in 'Branch rule/related issues.' How difficult would it be to adapt this to any iterable list, and introduce an iteration variable that can be referenced in step 4 ('{{watcher}}')?

Or, can someone suggest a way to accomplish the same thing another way? That is to say, users who opt-in to Slack notifications (members of the 'slack-notify' group) get Slack direct messages when an issue they are watching is updated.

I already have this working nicely for when tickets are assigned, the difference being that I only have to deal with one user.

Hi Sean,

Yes, we don't support this yet, but are already tracking this at https://codebarrel.atlassian.net/browse/AUT-81. We've got quite a few higher priority items in our backlog at the moment so it will be a while before we can get to this, but we'll let you know when we get a chance to work on this.

Cheers,
Andreas

Thank you very much Andreas. I'm happy to know it's on the list -- it will make your add-on even more indispensable than it already is!

Cheers,
