Using Jira Automation Rules to Facilitate Field Mapping

Automation rules allow you to automate workflow actions within the Jira system based on the configured criteria. When a ticket pushes up to the Jira system from Crowdcontrol, the automation rule is executed to updated the ticket.

Each automation rule consists of a trigger, conditions, and actions. Triggers listen for events in Jira, such as when an issue is created or when a field value is changed. Conditions narrow the scope of your rule. Actions allow you to perform many tasks, such as updating a ticket or sending a notification.

To configure the automation rule:

  1. In Jira, go to System Settings and click Automation rules on the left panel.

    The Automation page is displayed.

  2. On the Rules tab, click Create rule.

    create-rule

  3. Configure the trigger, conditions, and actions. For more information about this, see add and configure automation rules.

Example

Consider the example of synchronizing the priority level for a submission when you push it from Crowdcontrol to Jira.

In Crowdcontrol, under Field Mapping, select Bugcrowd Priority as the Jira field you want to map to the Priority field.

In Jira, create a rule called Bugcrowd P1 Priority Mapping such that it is triggered when the issue is updated in Crowdcontrol and the condition is Bugcrowd Priority equals 1, the action is to set the Priority field as Highest in Jira.

In Crowdcontrol, go to the submission and change the priority level to P1.
