Use Focus with Jira Automations
You can set up automation rules to perform common tasks as you work in Focus.
Currently, we support these actions:
Associate Jira issues with focus areas with the Link to focus areas action
Send Slack messages when you update focus areas with the Send Slack message action
Before you begin
To use Focus with Jira automations, you must also have a Focus User role with site permissions to add work to focus areas. Make sure your Focus site is connected to Jira before setting up the automation.
If your trigger or conditions are related to project automations, you must also have the appropriate project permissions:
Company-managed projects: You’ll need the Administer projects and Browse projects permissions for your project. Learn more about permissions for company-managed projects
Team-managed projects: You’ll need Administrator access for your project. Learn more about permissions for team-managed projects
Global or multi-project automations: You’ll need the Administer Jira permission. Learn more about global permissions in Jira Cloud.
Integrate your automation rule with Focus
Go to Automation and select Create rule.
Select a trigger for your rule.
Optionally, select conditions for your rule.
Select your desired action. This will prompt you to connect Focus to Atlassian Automation. Learn more about connections
Alternatively, you can use automation templates to link issues to focus areas.
