These are standard Events that are offered by JIRA. You can always define custom events.

Adding a custom event

  1. Log in as a user with the JIRA Administrators global permission.
  2. Choose Image Added > System. Select Advanced > Events to open the View Events page.
    (tick) Keyboard shortcutg + g + start typing events
  3. In the Add New Event form at the bottom of the page, add a Name and Description for the custom event.
  4. In the Template field, select the default email template to be associated with the event.
  5. Click the Add button.

The custom event must be associated with a default email notification template. A notification scheme configured to notify users of this event will use this email template when sending the notification. The custom event will appear in the list of events defined within the system. Initially, the event will be marked as inactive as it is not associated with a notification scheme or workflow post-function. Some events are fired by JIRA internally — e.g. an Issue Updated or Issue Moved event. Other events are fired from within workflow transition post-functions — e.g. an IssueResolved event, or a Custom Events. All added custom events will be fired within workflow transition post-functions.

Configuring a post function to fire the custom event

  1. Log in as a user with the JIRA Administrators global permission.
  2. Choose Image Added > Issues. Select Workflows to open the Workflows page, which displays all of the workflows in your system.
    (tick) Keyboard shortcutg + g + start typing workflows
  3. Navigate to workflow transition post-function screen to be edited. See Configuring Workflow and  Applying Post Functions to Transitionsfor more information.
  4. Update the post function to fire the custom event.
  5. Activate or associate the workflow (and scheme) with the appropriate project. See Activating workflow for more information.

Additional parameters

There is a possibility to restrict launching actions only to the specific events. In order to do so you have to select basic fields (i.e. Issue type, Issue Status, Resolution Date) or define those parameters by using simple or more advanced JQL.
