Workflow events

You can subscribe to these Jira workflow events in Forge apps:

• Expression evaluation failed: avi:jira:failed:expression

Other Jira product events can also be sent after transitioning an issue, depending on what has changed during the transition:

• Issue updated: avi:jira:updated:issue for other transitions
• Issue assigned: avi:jira:assigned:issue if the issue is assigned while making a transition
• Mentioned on issue: avi:jira:mentioned:issue when a user is mentioned on an issue while making a transition
• Comment on issue: avi:jira:commented:issue if a comment is added while making a transition

Expression evaluation failed

Whenever an app-registered Forge workflow condition or Forge workflow validator based on a Jira expression fails while executing, an avi:jira:failed:expression event is sent.

You can subscribe to this event in Forge apps. This event will only reach the app that registered the failing expression.

OAuth 2.0 scopes required:
