Triggers specify when and how an Execution Plan will execute.

Issue Event Triggers

 

Issue Events set the Execution Plan to run on a Jira issue when specified matching events are detected, such as Issue Creation, Comment Update, or Work Log Deleted occur.

Issue Event Trigger options include:

  • Issue Created, Issue Updated, or Issue Deleted

  • Comment Created, Comment Updated, or Comment Deleted

  • Work Log Created, Work Log Updated, or Work Log Deleted



When using a Sub-Task to Issue Rollup or an Issue to Epic Rollup formula type, the trigger events you choose will only work in reaction to the events in the Sub-Task tickets or the children of the Epic. 

 

Scheduled Triggers

 

 

Scheduled Triggers run the Execution Plan according to a specified schedule for Jira issues that meet your Issue Query requirements.

Triggers may be scheduled with the following options:

Daily/Weekly

  • Set the trigger to run on all All days or on selected days of the week

  • Specify the Frequency, ranging from every 15 minutes to once per day

  • Set Start and End times for the Frequency or run All Day
