Workflow automation

SignOff provides native Jira workflow modules that can be added to any workflow transition.

Post-functions

Request SignOff Signatures — Automatically requests signatures when a transition fires. The configuration form lets you choose whether to request from the assignee, select specific users, assign groups, and define group requirements.

Request SignOff Signatures post-function configuration

Clear SignOff Requests — Clears all pending signature requests and groups when a transition fires. Useful for reset transitions.

Validators

SignOff Signature Requirement — Blocks a transition unless signature requirements are met. The configuration form offers three modes:

  • All requested — every pending request must be completed
  • Minimum count — at least N total signatures are required
  • Groups — each defined group must reach its required count

Conditions

SignOff Signature Requirement — Hides a transition button until requirements are met. Uses the same configuration modes as the validator.

Auto-transitions

In the project settings under Auto-Transitions, you can define rules that automatically execute a workflow transition when signature requirements are satisfied. This allows issues to move through your workflow without manual intervention once the required signatures are collected.

Rules specify:

  • Which issue types the rule applies to (only issue types sharing the same workflow can be grouped)
  • The status the issue must be in
  • The transition to execute
  • The trigger condition (all pending signed, all groups satisfied, or minimum count)

Auto-transition rules configuration

Auto-transition rules are configured per project under Settings. You can also trigger status transitions reactively using Automation for Jira rules based on signature event properties.
