Configure workflow triggers
Triggers in your workflow automatically transition work items in Jira when events such as commits, or branches occur in your connected development tools. For example, you can automatically transition from To Do to In Progress when a branch is created.
These triggers can only be used in company-managed spaces.
Before you begin, you’ll need to connect your development tools to your Jira site. See a list of compatible development tools and instructions for how to connect them.
You can view which tools are already connected to your space in two ways. The first is to navigate to the space in question then:
Next to the name of your space in the sidebar, select More actions (•••), then Space settings.
Select Development tools.
You can also go directly to this page using the URL [baseurl]/secure/ConfigureDevStatus.jspa?projectKey=PROJECT_KEY.
To add a trigger to an existing workflow:
The steps on this page reference the new workflow editor. Change to this view using the Switch editor menu on the workflow configuration screen.
In the Workflow editor, select the transition to which you want to add a trigger. Select the Add () next to Triggers in the properties panel.
Choose the trigger type you want to add, then select Done.
Select Update workflow to save your changes. Doing so updates all spaces that use this workflow.
