Hello,

I have a notification scheme enabled in my JIRA application. Currently I am getting the notification mails whenever the JIRA issue is created/modified and so on. I would like to know, Is there a way to configure the notification scheme such a way that sending the notification mail to me (assignee) if the due date of the JIRA issue is close to the current date (Kind of remider mail).

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Porali

Yes this is very much possible. Create a filter for the issues that are of interest to you (assignee == current user) and in due date as per your requirements. Once this filter is created, you can create a daily subscription to that filter. Also if there no issues nearing its due date, Jira will not bother you with an empty mail.

Thank you very much.

But this will not help me really. If I have to create a filter every day to get an email notification that doesn't make sense for me. Hope this is the missing feature of Jira from my point of view. I would expect, that I get a kind of daily reminder mail by Jira.

you don't need to create such fitler every day. Filter can use relative dates in their definition. Just use query like "resolution is empty and duedate < 1d" and that will mean that an e-mail will be sent only if there are some unresolved issues with due date before tomorrow (+1 day).

Yes, it is possible for induvisual user to subscribe the filter but if Administrator want to send an email to more than one user such that their task due date is nearby then are there any other option availabel in JIRA or anyone know the method to do so?

I'm a bit late, I know. Anyway I just wanted to inform you guys about the JIRA Plugin 'RemindMe' that does exactly what was asked for in the original question. Maybe you want to give this a try?

Love it!

As an admin though, I need to enable this by default to all users. Preferably even don't allow users to disable it, they may edit reminder time but not disable it at all. Would love to see that. Thanks :)

Hi David, Do you guys have a plugin for Confluence reminders?

Hi Michael, In fact the idea exists fur us. Yet this in such an early stage that I can not even say if this is coming this year or coming at all. Sorry to say that...

Is it possible to set the shared filter to send notifications to the assignee(whosoever it is) of each issue before the due date.

I have created a filter and shared it with a project. I am not sure whether without explicitly subscribing to the filter by the each user in the project does it send an email?

You can create a subscription for someone else or for a group of people. I use groups to notify people of issues that aren't updatef for a long time.

Ronald Yeshulas November 18, 2014

I would be interested in how you setup the notification for issues that have not been updated for a while. Can you share that info?

Rob Nolan March 25, 2015
