How does Automation work?
3 things, that are part of an automation rule| Triggers | When it will happen. Issue created, Issue status changed, User logged in etc. |
| Conditions | If this is the case. Those are your cross-project available Redmine filters for issues, projects, users etc. |
| Actions | Then something will happen. Transition issue, Add comment, Edit issue, Webhook etc. |
Automation rule example
Where does Automation happen?
The basic configuration takes place in the Administration section of Redmine. By a user with administration permission.
>> Administration / Plugins / AutomationAutomation rules are setup in the plugin configuration section "Rules"
When does Automation happen?
Based on the selected Trigger for the Automation rule. The action takes place event-based or time-based.
Trigger Examples
 Event-based |
 Time-based |
| User login, Save an issue, Save a project, Save a DB entry, Save a spent time entry, Save an user | Scheduled event for users, issues, projects, DB entries, spent time entries (e.g. once a month, every friday, daily etc.) |
