In this video we share insights on how to effectively automate using the Jira Service Management (JSM) automation platform.
We walk through the simplicity of defining new service requests and automation rules within the platform. We explain how actions, such as issue creations or field changes, can trigger automation. We also explore the different ways automation can be triggered, whether it’s through scheduling or manual intervention.
We uncover the potential opportunities for integrations within the platform and highlight the additional conditions that can be added to tailor automation to specific needs. We reveal the power of updating other requests and looking up objects within the CMDB, ultimately enabling streamlined automation.
Our guide takes us on a journey of customization by discussing the ability to define issue types that align with different teams’ business processes. We dive into the advantage of narrowing the focus to specific types of issues, giving an example of filtering for requests related to access badges.
We share the actions that can performed through the platform, including sending emails, creating related issues or tasks, and adding watchers. We learn that the automation platform goes beyond traditional communication methods, as we discuss the ability to send SMS messages, Slack and Teams messages, and web requests, as well as call third-party REST APIs for automation purposes.
