Firing Events

Share Your JIRA allows you to catch the activity of all public shares by firing an event. This means it is possible to define  e. g. supervisors to get notified in a custom way if a public share is created.

The relevant event is called "Issue Public Shared".

By using Scriptrunner for example, you are able to trigger an custom email.
