This is how the Template tab looks like on first navigation -
How it works?
The screen loads with a default Email body template. All the parameters on this screen can be stored as 'Default template'. This data then will be used to generate and send release notes when a version is released in JIRA, if the 'Auto send email after version release' is on.
For sending one-odd email, make changes to the template and from the split button at the bottom - click 'Use once'. You will be brought to the email screen with all the variables and queries converted into actual data that will be sent within the email body. More about using the email tab to send emails.
Parameter Details:
Reply to: This parameter is used to set the reply-to email address in the 'Release notes' email. So when the recipient of the Release notes email clicks on reply action, this email address will be populated. This parameter expects only one email address in valid format.
...
Email body: This is the actual email template which helps retrieve relevant data from JIRA. Default template that is shipped with the add-on tabulates items assuming default JIRA issue types - Stories, Improvements, Tasks & Bugs. When unspecified, following columns are included by default - Priority, Key, Summary, Status. You can use JQL queries to fetch the required JIRA issues and then decide which columns you want included in the release notes email. Read on to learn how!!
