Using GString Templates

ScriptRunner allows you to write Groovy scripts with dynamically generated text using GString Templates.

You can add dynamic text in a template using the ${expression} syntax. All editors supporting GString Templates in ScriptRunner have Code Insight, allowing you to utilize code completions, parameter hints, and Javadoc lookup.

Below, we show a simple example of how you can use GString Templates in ScriptRunner.

For example, if you want to create a Send Custom Email listener, you can write the Email template and Subject template using GString Templates.

The following example is for a custom email triggering on a space created event.

Enter the following into the Subject template field:
1
New space ${event.space.name} created

Enter the following into the Email template field:

Dear ${event.user.displayName}
A new space ${event.space.name} has been created.
