What are Jira post functions?

Post functions in Jira are functions that are executed after a specific action. This is a convenient way to run additional processes after an action is completed.

Jira already uses many post functions internally: When you edit a task, Jira will automatically use a post function to update search indexes so that the search results are also aligned with the Jira task changes.

The following Jira post functions exist:

• Assign to the current user
• Assign to author
• Assign to the lead developer
• Notify Hipchat
• Trigger Webhook
• Update task field
