JIRA Target

The JIRA target posts to a JIRA incoming webhook whenever an automation fires, so that a JIRA automation rule can create a task. Use it to raise issues automatically, for example when a dataset is late.

Id	Name	Template	Icon
odsl.jira	Create a JIRA task	create a JIRA task at [url] using [template]	clipboard-plus text-primary

The target works with any service and any action. It supports property-change filtering but not @transformer.

Inputs

Input	Description
url	The JIRA incoming webhook URL
template	A mustache template for the task, can be left empty

Message formatting

In the current automation handlers, the triggering data is posted to url as JSON and the template input is not applied. The receiving JIRA webhook gets the raw JSON data, not a formatted message. This target also does not support @transformer. Set template because the target asks for it, but do not rely on it to format the task.

tip

Because the data arrives as JSON, configure your JIRA automation rule to read the fields it needs from the incoming JSON.

Example: raise a JIRA task when a dataset is missing

ODSL

a = AutomationBuilder("dataset", "private", "ICE.NDEX.NLB").build()

c = SimpleObject()
c.source = "private"
c.service = "dataset"
c.id = "ICE.NDEX.NLB"
c.action = "missing"
conds = []
conds.add(c)
a.conditions = conds

a.target = "odsl.jira"
a.template = "When 'ICE.NDEX.NLB' is missing, create a JIRA task at [url] using [template]"
a.icon = "clipboard-plus text-primary"
a.properties.url = "https://automation.atlassian.com/pro/hooks/your-webhook-id"
a.properties.template = ""
a.enabled = true
save ${automation:a}
