Advanced automation components
Advanced components are only available for Premium and Enterprise plans.
Boost the power of your rule by automating entire business processes.
By adding advanced components to your automation rule, you can:
eliminate manual workarounds: No more chaining rules with hacks – now you can design, visualize, and manage multi-step, multi-team processes natively.
boost efficiency: Automate parallel and conditional processes, reduce errors, and free your teams to focus on higher-value work.
enterprise-grade control: Gain visibility, manage complexity, and scale automation across your organization.
Once you’ve added an advanced component to your rule, all components will be wrapped in a rule group.
Branch at the same time
Allows multiple groups of automation rule components to execute simultaneously. Use this component when you need to begin executing different tasks at the same time, but aren’t dependent on each other.
Other branches available in Jira and Confluence Cloud
Delay until
This action is only available in Jira and Jira Service Management Premium and Enterprise plans.
Use smart values here: No
This event-based action allows you to delay the execution of a rule from 10 seconds up to 10 days after a specified event occurs.
Add it before a condition or another action. Adding it to a branch only delays the execution of the branch’s components and does not affect the rest of the rule.
Supported events:
Work Item updated
Alert updated
Loop
This component is only available in Jira, Confluence, and Jira Service Management Premium and Enterprise plans.
Use this component to run a group of rule components multiple times in sequence. You can loop up to three iterations.
Add up to 32 conditions to control whether the loop continues or stops. Automation evaluates the conditions before each iteration. If they evaluate to false, the loop ends.
Select Run components once before first loop if you want to run the components inside the loop once before checking any conditions.
Nesting
Loops can’t be nested within themselves. However, they can be combined with Branch at the same time and Delay until components.
Both Loop and Branch at the same time count toward the flow’s nesting depth, and a flow can include a maximum of two nesting levels. This means you can have:
A Branch at the same time inside a Loop (with or without Delay until)
A Loop inside a Branch at the same time (with or without Delay until)
A Branch at the same time inside another Branch at the same time (with or without Delay until)
