Create Environment Bookings on RM Versions Transitions

This integration allows you to automatically create environment booking requests in Golive when a version is moved on your Release Management (RM) board. It helps ensure environments are reserved at the right time, reducing conflicts and avoiding double bookings.

This guide walks you through the setup in RM and Golive, including the required Jira Automation and Webhook configuration.


How it Works

  1. The release manager sets the release dates in RM version-specific attributes (e.g., UAT Start Date and UAT End Date.)

  2. The release manager transitions the version in the RM board (e.g., from Planning to Development).

  3. A Jira Automation rule creates booking requests in Golive for the related Environments in the different release stages.

Requirements

  • You must be using Golive on Jira Cloud.

  • Ensure that Release Management (RM) is installed and properly configured, with the Advanced version that supports authentication tokens.

  • Appropriate permissions to configure Jira Automation and RM settings.


Configuration Steps

Step 1: Create Date Properties for RM Versions

Add custom properties such as:

  • UAT Start Date

  • UAT End Date

Refer to the Custom Properties documentation for setup details.

Step 2: Require Date Entry on Transitions

In the RM board settings, enable the Ask value if empty toggle to require date entry when transitioning a version.

Step 3: Set Up Jira Automation for Booking Requests

Create a Jira Automation rule triggered by an Incoming Webhook.

This rule will:

  • Create the corresponding Jira Version, if missing.

  • Create a booking request in Golive.

Field Mapping

Start time:

CODE
{{webhookData.UAT Start Date}}

End time:

CODE
{{webhookData.UAT End Date}}

Fix versions:

CODE
{{webhookData.entityName}}

Additional fields: Update with your Golive Custom Field ID and Environment ID.

CODE
{
    "fields": {
        "customfield_13500": ["56"]
    }
}

Step 4: Create a RM Automation Rule

Set up an RM Automation to trigger your Jira Automation when a version moves to a board column.
