Event definitions
Events in Jira Cloud behave very differently from how they behave in Jira Server / Data Center. This page is designed to help users of Notification Assistant for Jira understand the logic for how Events work as Triggers.
Event Name | Logic | Notes |
---|---|---|
Issue Created | New issue was created | Normally, the person who triggers an event is not notified about it. In this case, the Reporter won’t receive the Issue Created notification. However, it is possible to notify the Reporter by enabling the option: Notify users of their own changes. |
Issue Updated | Any field on an issue was updated |
|
Issue Deleted | An issue was deleted | Since we get notified after the issue is deleted, we can’t populate most issue fields into the template. |
Field Updated | We monitor for all issue update events, then filter them for a change to a specified field |
|
Issue Resolved | Resolution field goes from empty, to any non empty value |
|
Issue Assigned | Assignee field is updated |
|
Issue Moved | Project or Issue Type is changed on an issue |
|
