Automation removes the small chores: assigning new bugs, closing stale issues, pinging someone when a deadline slips. Jira Cloud includes Automation for Jira with a monthly allowance of rule runs that depends on your plan. Starlex rules have no monthly allowance to watch.
Four kinds of triggers
- Event rules react to changes: an issue created, moved, assigned, flagged or reprioritised, or a new comment.
- Scheduled rules run once a day.
- SLA rules fire when an issue breaches its resolution target.
- Manual rules appear as actions people can run on an issue.
What rules can do
Actions cover the everyday chores: assign the issue, change its status or priority, add or remove labels, flag it, comment on it or set a due date a number of days ahead.
Reliable by design
Rules run from an ordered log of issue events. A failed rule does not stop the others, and nothing is counted against a quota, so you can automate freely.
Connect the rest
For anything outside Starlex, signed webhooks with retries deliver events to your own services, and personal access tokens let scripts call the API.
