Release page subscription lets users subscribe to your release page updates. They stay informed through automated email notifications when new release is posted on the release page.

To enable subscribe button on your release page, go to release page configurations page & enable Allow new subscribers toggle.

When user clicks on Subscribe button on release page, they will be prompted to enter their email address. User will get an email to confirm their subscription. Upon confirmation of subscription by the user, they will be added as active subscriber for your release page.

Automated notifications to subscribers

You can enable automated email notifications to the subscribers by enabling Send updates to subscribers toggle shown in above image.

When you enable this toggle, you need to map a release page notification template and select send via email (default email Id or custom email configured through SMTP settings). Every time a new release is updated on the release page, an automated email notification will be sent to all active subscribers.

Release page notifications email template

For release page notifications, we have introduced a new type of email template called Release page notifications. This template can be added from the templates tab.

Release page notifications template can be mapped in the release page configurations explained above. This type of template shall not be available for mapping under any other rule actions.

Widgets

Widget is a brand new way to communicate release notes directly with your customers. It lets you embed the release notes in the form of a widget, directly in your web or mobile app. Once configured, you get a Javascript snippet that can be added to any HTML page for the widget to appear.

Widget details

  • Name - e.g. Admin web-app widget. Note that this name will not be shown anywhere on the widget, it is only for your reference.

  • Description - e.g. We have used this widget in the Admin web-app. Note that this description is not shown anywhere on the widget, it is only for your reference.

Widget content layout

In the Widget content layout - Template 1 section, add the following attributes

Image Removed

Release details

  • Title - Any title that relates to the release

    • Subtitle - Any subtitle that relates to the release

  • Issue details - Select any 3 Jira issue fields here. These fields will be displayed in the widget along with information relevant to these fields. Currently, only a simple layout that makes use of these 3 fields is available. Each of those three fields are Jira issue field selectors. One can choose either default attributes or even the custom ones.

Title & Subtitle can contain variables. Note that this section is not used anywhere currently. But we will enhance the issue layouts to make use of this information. Read Release page & Widget templates & widget modes for more details.

Additional details like look & feel are configured under the ‘Details’ tab of the right-hand side section.

  • Widget launcher button size - Small, Medium, Large

  • Rest of the configurations deal with the look & feel of the widget

Widget content

In the Widget content a JQL is defined that determines what data is populated within the widgets. Every time the widget action is triggered, it will look at the JQL & pull out the relevant issues. Similar to how the JQL section is configured, you can use variables in this text box.

Once the JQL is added, click anywhere outside of the box & (tick) or (error) will be displayed to convey correctness of the JQL.

A sample JQL that can be used -
