Use Focus with Jira Automations
You can set up automation rules to automatically associate Jira issues with focus areas using the Link to focus areas action.
Before you begin
To manage project automations, you must 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
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.
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 the Link to focus area action. This will prompt you to connect Focus to Atlassian Automation. Learn more about connections
Alternatively, you can use an automation template to link issues to focus areas.
