I was looking for a way with hosted Jira to be able to send out release notes with our own template. Since the hosted version doesn’t allow you to edit the templates, I decided to build an application that worked with the Jira api to build an html page that could be emailed to our team. This NodeJS app is the result of this work.
First time to use, run within the JiraRnGen directory.
$ npm install
You will need to create a image/logo.json file; you can copy the example to logo.json for testing. You will need to set up a sendgrid account and set up an API key to use with sendgrid. Copy conf/config-example.json to conf/config.json.
Then to run each time
$ node release-notes.js -u username -p password --email -n jira-hostname -f release-name -s email-address
