Jira Automation allows project administrators to implement automation rules that can be used to make certain processes are automated, guaranteeing efficiency and also ensure processes are assuredconsistency.

The main concepts of Jira Automation follows follow a very simple approach for defining an automation rule: if a certain "thing" happens (trigger) and certain conditions are met, then execute one or more actions.

• Trigger: Triggers start the execution of a rule. Triggers can listen for events or be scheduled to run.
  • manual
  • upon changes on fields, on the field or workflow status changes 
  • upon releasing
  • periodic
  • ...
• Condition: Actions will only execute if all conditions preceding them pass.
  
  • "If" statement
  • Issue fields condition
  • ...
• Action: Actions perform changes to a system. 
  • change fields on issues
  • transition issues
  • web request
  • log
  • ...

...

It's also possible to run actions on issues that are related to the issue that triggered the rule, using "branches".
