Key highlights of the appJavaScript scripting layer that lets you run reusable scripts in Jira automation, workflows, scheduled jobs or even via comments

JavaScript Automation for Jira Cloud

Build powerful Jira automations with custom JavaScript. Go beyond native rules to handle complex logic, react to Jira events in real-time, connect to external services, and return results you can reuse in later steps.

Custom Workflow Post-Functions in Jira

Run custom code when issues move through workflow statuses. Automatically update fields, create linked work items, child work items, or clone work items so your workflow does the work, not your admins.

Trigger Scripts: Events, Comments & Schedules

React to Jira events (work item, comment, worklog, project changes), run one-off scripts by mentioning @scriptbuddy in comments, or schedule recurring jobs for reports, syncs, and maintenance tasks.

More details

ScriptBuddy - Script Engine and Automation for Jira brings custom JavaScript scripting to Jira Cloud, but designed for easier and flexible execution across your platform.

It runs scripts in multiple contexts:

  • workflow post-functions
  • Jira Automation actions
  • real-time event triggers
  • comment mentions
  • scheduled jobs

Manage everything from one place with searchable script definitions, built-in testing, and version history (including restore of previous versions). Keep integrations safe with secure, sandboxed execution and environment variables for API keys, tokens, and configuration (with masked secrets). Use it to automatically update fields, create or clone issues, generate daily/weekly reports, sync with external systems, and handle logic that rules alone can’t.
