I need notifications for any updates or comments on a watched Apache JIRA issue. How can I set up alerts for these changes?
I have been using Apache JIRA for a number of years and developed a habit of tailoring my notification settings according to my requirements. Adjusting the profile settings to enable email notifications for all watched tickets is a good starting point. Additionally, exploring the subscription features for specific query filters has proven beneficial. By configuring JIRA to monitor issues based on custom criteria, you obtain alerts whenever any update occurs. In my experience, merging these options helps in reliably tracking the changes made to the issues you care about.
hey, you might wanna try a 3rd party plugin that streams updates straight to your phone; it saved me loads of settings hassle. not perfect sometimes but works well for me, might be worth a shot…
I experimented with a setup that relies on JIRA’s webhooks and external automation services to tailor notifications. Instead of solely depending on the in-built email alerts, I configured a webhook to trigger on specific JIRA events that I care about. These triggers then send data to an automation service which filters and forwards the alerts as emails or even SMS notifications. Though configuring this initially required some effort in setting the proper conditions and endpoints, it ultimately provided a more flexible system to ensure I never miss crucial updates without being overwhelmed by noise.
