Feature

Description

Authorizing users

Once installed, the OnLink app is available to Jira admins. Admins can access the app from “Manage your apps” menu to configure system connections. For each of the connections, they can authorize both projects and users/groups. This restricts the usage of OnLink functions to those projects and users.

HTML template support for emails

Support for html formats to create emails like this to welcome new hires.

Image RemovedSee this for an example of how custom templates can be created. Additional templates coming soon.

When using Email function, you can use the rich text editor to format and also include images. Variable substitution is also supported so that any field on the issue can be pulled into the email body. Images can be included by clicking on the image icon. You can resize the images but note that some images may not display in this viewer due to restrictions to URL’s. However the images will still be rendered on the actual email that’s sent.

Variable Substitution for Emails

Variable substitution is supported so that any field on the issue can be pulled into the email body. Apart from the fields, here are reserved keywords that can be used:

{taskkey} - pulls the Jira issue key

{dynamic_prefix} - creates a random character string. This can be used in conjunction with Azure AD to create and send a one time password.

Field Mapping

Field mapping (input and output) needs to be configured for all functions.

Input Field Mapping - The label indicates the field that the target system expects as input. The drop down shows list of all custom fields available. Select the one that contains the value, for example in the screenshot below you would select the field that contains the Workday Employee ID. Make sure this field is available on your issue screen. OnLink supports string, date, number and single select types.

Output Field Mapping - Status is a field that gets populated once the function executes. This will be populated with “Success” or with an error message that the function returns.
