Automation

LigaAI supports flexible automation scenarios to help eliminate repetitive operations and free up your team's productivity.

What is Automation?

Automation is a feature that enables LigaAI automatically execute specified actions when triggers occur according to the rules you set up.  Like assigning the work to someone when the status changes.

You can set a series of automation in a project and leave the tedious and repetitive affairs from LigaAI

Automation consists of Trigger, Conditions and Actions.

Trigger

The trigger is the starting point of Automation.

Events such as work creation, field changes, Git commits, Jenkins build results, etc. can be set as triggers in LigaAI.

Conditions

Conditions are an optional part of automation. Multiple conditions can be added to a trigger. The automation will only execute when the conditions are true.

Firstly, choose which objects the conditions control to make the automation more precise.

• Trigger Work
• Subtasks
• Dependencies

Trigger Work

The work where the trigger occurs satisfied the conditions.

You can add fields, sprint or DevOps process conditions to the trigger.

Subtask

Only if the subtasks of the work satisfied the conditions, the automation will run.

Select a condition type:

Subtasks Exist: The trigger work has subtasks.

Subtasks Do Not Exist: The trigger work has no subtask.

All subtasks satisfy conditions: Only if all the subtasks of the trigger work satisfy the conditions, the automation will run.  

At least one subtask satisfies conditions: Only if at least one subtask of the trigger work satisfies the following conditions, the automation will run.

Linked Work

Only if the dependencies of the work satisfied the conditions, the automation will run.

Select a condition type:

• Linked Work Exist: The trigger work has Dependencies.
• Linked Work Do Not Exist: The trigger work has no Dependencies.
• All linked work satisfy conditions: Only if all the subtasks of the trigger work satisfy the conditions, the automation will run.
• At least one linked work satisfies conditions: Only if at least one subtask of the trigger work satisfies the following conditions, the automation will run.
• Please note that when choosing subtasks or dependencies as the conditions objects and the trigger occurs to a subtask, the automation will not execute due to hierarchy limits.

Actions

Actions are what happens when Automation is triggered.

Automation can execute actions such as sending Webhooks, message notifications, work creation, and field modification. Multiple actions can be added to automation.

You can choose the objects that the actions execute on.
