What does AutoWorklog add to Jira Automation?
AutoWorklog adds a Jira automation action for creating worklogs with dynamic users, time spent values, dates, comments, and issue references from Jira smart values.
Jira Automation Action
Jira Worklog Automation
Without Manual Chasing
Standard Jira automation is powerful, but it hits a wall with time tracking. AutoWorklog bridges the gap with a Jira automation action that can log work on behalf of any user, convert incoming webhooks into Jira worklogs, and map smart values from external systems without custom API code.

Most Popular
🔌
Sync External Tools (Webhooks)
Set up an incoming webhook in Jira Automation linked to your external time-tracker (like Toggl, Clockify, or Harvest) or developer tools (like GitHub/GitLab). When a developer closes a PR or stops a timer, AutoWorklog automatically creates the Jira worklog under their profile.
💡
The "Resolve & Log" Rule
Automatically log a standard 15-minute QA review time on behalf of the reviewer the moment an issue is moved to "Done."
📅
Recurring Standups
Automatically log daily admin or scrum overhead for your entire team every Friday without making them fill it out manually.
Questions Teams Ask Before Installing
Practical details for Jira admins, team leads, and security reviewers.
Can AutoWorklog log work on behalf of another Jira user?
Yes. Automation rules can map the worklog author from the assignee, reporter, a fixed account, or a Jira smart value supplied by an issue field or webhook payload.
Can incoming webhooks create Jira worklogs?
Yes. Pair Jira Automation's incoming webhook trigger with AutoWorklog to turn timer events, pull requests, or external system events into Jira worklogs.
Does AutoWorklog support Jira smart values?
Yes. Rules can use Jira smart values to calculate time spent, worklog date, description, user, and issue details from automation context or webhook payloads.
Where is AutoWorklog hosted?
AutoWorklog is built on Atlassian Forge and runs inside Atlassian Cloud infrastructure.
Does BIG FISH store Jira issue data or webhook payloads?
