Configure automation
You can add automation rules to your request forms to automatically update request statuses for Venafi-related operations, Usually, there are two common results for each operation — success or failure. For this example, we'll add a rule which will transition the ticket to "Resolve this issue" when a Venafi certificate is successfully created.
Prerequisites
- Connector for Venafi & Jira Service Management must already be installed, and JSM must be connected to a Venafi account.
- You have configured request forms for Venafi-related operations.
- You must be an admin of the Jira Service Management instance.

- In the Automation window, click on Add rule.
- In the New automation rule popup, scroll down to the bottom, click on Custom rule, and click Next.

- In the rules section, click on WHEN > Add a trigger. In the Edit When popup, click Add trigger.

- Still In the rules section, click on the IF box. In the Edit IF popup, click Add condition.
- Add a condition similar to Issue matches: "Customer Request Type" = "Create new certificate (IT)", and click Confirm. Note: the text in parentheses is based on your project key, so it will be different from this example.

In the THEN box for failed requests, consider adding a comment to inform users that the request has failed.- Continue to add rules for certificate renewal and certificate revocation. Be sure to add rules for both the successful and the failed results. When you are done, your Automation window should look something like this:
