Projectrak as action - Create a project and fill Projectrak with issue data after issue transition

 It is not necessary to create a Project, just avoid the second step of the automation rule

Create an automation rule

1. Configure trigger

Create a new trigger → When issue transitioned

2. Create a project

Generate a base64 authentication for the Jira user

Generate a string in base64 with the text "<JIRA_USER>:<JIRA_API_TOKEN>"

1. Use the terminal:

echo -n YOUR_JIRA_USER:YOUR_JIRA_API_TOKEN | base64

2. Store the result (something like this):

Configure action

Add component → New action → Send web request

• Web request URL: https://YOUR_INSTANCE.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/project

• Headers:

  • Content-Type: application/json

  • Authorization: Basic c2VydmljZXRlYW2AZGVpc2VyLmNvbTpBTGN1bkwzNzQ1YTRBUFY3cXcwZkU3MkQ=-EXAMPLE  (The Authentication in Base64)

• Web request body: Custom data

• Custom data (ℹ️ Replace DUMMYAUTO for your project key)

  }
