This page describes how to create an Automation for Jira (A4J) rule that automatically transitions tickets between Waiting for Customer and Waiting for Support statuses according to the comments posted on the issue.

We will cover three scenarios:

• Transition to Waiting for Support when a customer posts a comment.
• Transition to Waiting for Customer when support posts a comment.
• Transition between Waiting for Customer and Waiting for Support depending on who posted the comment.

Transition to Waiting for Support when a customer posts a comment

• In your Project, go to Project Settings > Automation
• Click Create rule
• As Trigger use Issue commented with Comment Type = All comments
• Add an Issue fields condition, where:
  • Field = Status
  • Condition = is one of
  • Value = Waiting for customer
• Add User Condition, with User = User who triggered the event and Check to perform = is a customer
• Add action Transition issue, with Destination status = Waiting for support
