Use Case

Several teams use the ePub workflow to coordinate an eBook creation process. When an eBook transitions from Open to Draft, a new issue needs to be created in the backlog of an “IT Services (IS)” project so the IT team’s manager can begin to forecast and assign resources.

Check out the below step-by-step instructions on how to automate issue creation based on the above scenario.
