Getting started with Power Scripts for Jira Cloud

Power Scripts is the fastest way to build advanced automations and truly customize Jira to your needs using Simple Issue Language (SIL) scripting. Power Scripts offers unlimited automation rule runs, regardless of your Jira plan.

Power Scripts is designed for Jira admins, Product Owners, or Managers who want to get more out of Jira and have hit a wall with other automation apps. It caters to users with little scripting or programming expertise who are looking for a straightforward scripting solution. If you've found Groovy too challenging or UI-based apps limiting, Power Scripts provides robust scripting capabilities without sacrificing functionality.

Simple Issue Language (SIL)

As the name suggests, SIL is built for clarity and ease of use. SIL is a low-code scripting language built specifically for Jira. It offers an intuitive syntax that's easy to learn and use even without prior programming experience.

SIL scripts are portable, which means you can transfer your automations across different Jira versions and hosting environments.

Administration and access

Power Scripts automations require initial configuration by a Jira admin. Once configured, automations run in the background during normal Jira operations.

Admins can easily share scripts through a centralized repo with an organized folder system. They can also grant specific non-admin users access to run pre-configured automation scripts as needed.
