About Jira Product Discovery
Transform product ideas into business impact.
Manage automation templates
To simplify and align the ways of work inside your team or organization, you can apply project or global templates.
Project admins can manage project automation templates for their specific Jira Product Discovery projects. Jira admins can manage global templates that will be applied to all the Jira Product Discovery projects that are on their site.
Use a template
Depending on your role, choose one of the following options:
If you are a project admin, go to the needed Jira Product Discovery project, and select Project settings > Automation > Templates.
If you are a Jira admin, on the upper right of the navigation bar, select ⚙️ > System > Global automation > Templates.
Choose the needed template from the template library, and then select Turn it on.
Additionally, customize the template according to the needs of your project by entering or selecting the applicable values.
Once the template is enabled, you can adjust or disable it at any time.
Jira Product Discovery has the following templates available:
Project automation templates:
When an idea is transitioned to delivery → create delivery issue
When an idea is done → archive it
When an idea has been idle for 3 months → notify assignee
When an idea has been idle for 4 months → move it back to parking lot
When an idea is transitioned to discovery → add watchers
When an idea is added to the roadmap → update Slack channel
When an idea is created → create corresponding Confluence page

All these templates are customizable according to the needs of yout Jira Product Discovery projects.
