Perform Actions

A Perform actions rule is a workflow function that performs automated actions after a work item transitions to a new status. ScriptRunner has several built-in perform actions functions. Each function contains a condition that can be used to dismiss the rest of the script if it returns false. Most functions also include additional code that can execute to modify the function's final action.

There are several ways to enhance your workflow using Perform actions, including:

• Automatically add or remove a work item from the active sprint after it is transitioned.

• Change the assignee of a work item after it’s transitioned.

• Send a notification on the transition of a work item.
