Summary

In this documentation page there are some samples on how to send a list of issues in a summary e-mail.

To send a summary e-mail with a numbered list of issues some extra coding in the content is required.
To get an end user-friendly index of issues in the e-mail, an index starting at one is preferable, therefore using the HTML tag for ordered list with a numeric index <ol type="1"> can deliver this result.

Environment

• Jira Server / Data Center 8.0.0 and any higher version
• Automation for Jira 7.0.0 and any higher version

Solution

Start with an automation rule as in the Run a rule against issues in bulk.

Create an action send e-mail and in the content add the following code block into the content section of the e-mail to be sent:

<ol type="1">
{{#issues}} <li>URL: {{url}} - {{description}} By {{reporter.displayName}}</li> {{/}}
</ol>

Make sure the send e-mail action configuration is set to "Send as: HTML"

Resulting e-mail:
