Summary
In this chapter, you have learned about the key concepts of automation rules in Jira and the basic building blocks of rules, including triggers, conditions, and actions. We also covered rule types and the differences between rule owners and actors and finally, we saw how to combine all of these concepts into our first automation rule.
As you have learned in this chapter, we have a lot of powerful and flexible components at our disposal that will, in turn, help us to create powerful automation rules to automate everyday tasks in Jira without the need to write any code. In the following chapters, we will be exploring these components in more detail and with the help of practical examples that you can use to kick-start your own rules.
In the following chapter, we will learn how to use these components to work with issues in Jira. We'll explore all the conditions we introduced in this chapter, how to work with related issues, and how we can use some of the action components available to edit and transition issues before looking at how we can run rules on a scheduled basis.
