Expanded Inquiry
I am using JIRA version 3.13 and need to understand if it is possible to receive email alerts when there are updates to project versions or components. Specifically, can notifications be triggered when a component or version is created, modified, or deleted? I would like to know if JIRA offers this feature natively, or if additional configuration or plugins are required to set up such notifications. Can anyone share insights or experiences regarding this email alert functionality?
Considering my experience with JIRA 3.13, I noticed that out-of-the-box notifications do not specifically target changes for components or versions. While JIRA sends notifications for issues based on standard events, the modifications you describe require additional configuration or third-party plugins that extend event handling capabilities. In our setup, we integrated a plugin that watches for these changes and converts them into email alerts. Without such an extension, achieving precise and reliable alerts for component or version updates is quite challenging.
i had to rig up a small script to catch those events since jira didnt send emails for comp/version changes natively. its not perfect but it works for now. might need a third party tweak if you want reliable alerts.
