Issue link events

You can subscribe to the following Jira issue link events in Forge apps:

created: avi:jira:created:issuelink
deleted: avi:jira:deleted:issuelink

The payload for all of these events is the same.

The required OAuth scope is read:jira-work.

We only support issue links within a single Jira instance.

This means that an event will not be triggered for links created between two Jira instances.

Payload

Name	Type	Description
eventType	`string`	The event name, such as `avi:jira:created:issuelink`.
id	`string`	ID of the link.
sourceIssueId	`string`	ID of the source issue.
destinationIssueId	`string`	ID of the destination issue.
issueLinkType	`IssueLinkType`	An object containing information about the link type.

Type reference

interface IssueLinkType {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  inward: string;
  outward: string;
}

Example

This is an example of the payload for when a Blocks issue link is created:

{
  "eventType": "avi:jira:created:issuelink",
  "id": "10000",
  "sourceIssueId": "10001",
  "destinationIssueId": "10002",
  "issueLinkType": {
    "id": "10000",
    "name": "Blocks",
    "inward": "is blocked by",
    "outward": "blocks"
  }
}

Issue worklog events

You can subscribe to these worklog events in Forge apps:

Created: avi:jira:created:worklog
Updated: avi:jira:updated:worklog
Deleted: avi:jira:deleted:worklog

Keep in mind that for deletions, cascading events are not emitted. For more information, see: Cascading events guide.

OAuth 2.0 scopes required:

Classic: read:jira-work

Granular: read:comment:jira, read:group:jira, read:issue-worklog:jira, read:issue-worklog.property:jira, read:project-role:jira, read:user:jira, read:avatar:jira

Payload

Name	Type	Description
eventType	`string`	The event name, such as `avi:jira:updated:worklog`.
worklog	`Worklog`	The worklog the event is related to. Available for `avi:jira:created:worklog`/`avi:jira:updated:worklog` events.
worklog	`WorklogDeleted`	The worklog the event is related to. Available for `avi:jira:deleted:worklog` events.

We've temporarily introduced the WorklogDeleted event to support the optional author and updateAuthor fields for the newly introduced avi:jira:deleted:worklog events and retain the current behaviour for the existing avi:jira:created:worklog and avi:jira:updated:worklog events.
The target state is that we'll use the new WorklogDeleted type for all worklog-related events.
We plan to remove support for the old Worklog type on the 8th of January 2025.
We'll put out a changelog announcement when that happens.
