Notice that for having the ability to create an automation, it is necessary to store a metric in a custom field. If you need help by doing this process read this article. Storing metrics in a custom field.
If you like a label style of metrics in Foxly and you want to keep using them, you can map which story point values correspond to which label.
For example, let’s say that your team is using:
LABEL | MAPPED STORY POINT VALUE |
|---|---|
XS | <2 |
S | >=2 & < 5 |
M | >=5 & < 13 |
L | >=13 & < 21 |
XL | >=21 |
Before you start creating this automation, we recommend watching the following Youtube video: Jira backlog automation with Foxly [Ep. 2]: Mapping Story points field to Effort video first.
The automation for this will then look like this:
A trigger is Field value changed, and the field that triggers the change is Story points;
Then use the Branch rule so we can update a Foxly effort field with the right value, only when it matches the right condition;
3. To assign the S label to the Effort metric in Foxly, use the JQL condition; "Story points" >= "2" AND "Story points" < "5"
4. Then set an action to update the Effort field in Foxly
{
"fields":
{
"Effort - RICE Label": S
}
}
Create a branch rule for each of your labels and change JQL conditions accordingly.
This automation will be displayed like the screenshot below:
