Platform Notice: Cloud Only - This article only applies to Atlassian products on the cloud platform.
Summary
This article will help in setting up the automation rule to search whether some phrases are part of the comment body or not. For example, You wish to search for the strings: On behalf of test 1 | On behalf of test 2 |On behalf of test 3| On behalf of Test 4 and so on.
In this use case, these phrases are long in list and have some common strings. The approach that includes, defining phrases in the Lookup Table and using them with conditions in the automation rule could be a little overwhelming thus we would suggest using regex to cater for this use case.
Solution
The approach to setup this use case could be :
Trigger: Issue commented
If Add a condition: Advanced compare condition
First value: {{issue.comments.last.body}}
Condition: contains regular expression
Regular expression : (?i)on behalf of (Test 1|Test 2|Test 3|Test 4)
Add Action: Comment on the issue
Comment: Found the value
Note
We have included (?i) prior to the string to remove case sensitivity, If you wish to keep the case sensitive for the string please feel free to remove it.
Regex Information:
1
2
3
Since "on behalf of" is common in all the sentences we have kept it outside the ().
To check the or string we have defined the strings with pipe "|"
(Test 1|Test 2|Test 3|Test 4)Here is the JSON file of the Automation rule:
