Jira automation for operations
Jira automation now includes new components for on-call teams to automate operations tasks and processes. In addition to project and global automation, you now have team automation where you’ll be able to create team rules to automate your alert and on-call work.
Team automation
If you’re a team admin, you’ll be able to find Automation on the team’s Operations page. Pick a template to get started or view the rules of your team by selecting Rules → Team rules.
Components for on-call team rules
We’ve added 3 new components to help you create incidents based on your alerts. You can use these components with already available components across project and global automation.
Triggers
Alert created
Rule is run when an alert is created.
Manual trigger from alert
