Installation

Automation for Jira Server is easy to install from the Atlassian Marketplace and you can start creating rules immediately. Once you get going, you'll be guided through the creation of your first automation rules in one of your existing projects, or in a brand new sample project. This article on using sample rules shows you how to dive right in using Automation for Jira.

Evaluations

All Marketplace licensing is controlled by Atlassian. You can read more about it here but we have laid out the basics below.

You can trial Automation for Jira Server for up to 6 months. The trial can sometimes be extended by Atlassian upon request.

Pro vs Lite

We offer a free (lite) version of Automation for Jira to enable smaller teams to automate their processes without needing to pay. You can upgrade from Lite to Pro at any time by installing the Pro version. For more details, please read our detailed guides on upgrading. You can downgrade from Pro to Lite by first uninstalling Pro (in Manage add-ons), then re-enabling Lite.

Note

If you downgrade from Pro to Lite, any automation rules using Pro-only rule components will no longer work. It is recommended to check which components you use before downgrading.

Third party actions

Automation for Jira Server allows extensions from other app vendors in the Atlassian Marketplace that contribute actions directly in our UI. Most of these apps and their actions are available in the Lite version, but not all of them. For details on available actions and apps, see Third party actions.
