Introduction

With Attachment Checker for Jira, it is possible to send notifications when an attachment is added or deleted.

This is useful

• to decouple separate notification for issue updates vs attachment updates

• when the issue update notification has been disabled

How to do it

The plugin can fire a configured event when attachment is updated. This event will send out email notification according to the project’s notification scheme.

This can be set up with 3 simple steps

1. Create a new event

2. Configure Attachment Checker for Jira to use the event

3. Configure the notification scheme
