Automatically export issues PDF and save it/send it somewhere (Server, can't use Marketplace)
Asked by mateus_oliveira:

We use Jira Server at my company, so I have no Admin access nor access to Marketplace (I believe there's a Jira app that could help)

I need to continuously export a PDF file from specific issues and save them somewhere, locally or on the cloud... either be it time based or trigger based.

Something that might be relevante is that we also use the Microsoft suite, so we have One Drive, Power Automate, etc - though I tried to do build some things there some time ago and I couldn't access Jira through API/tokens because of access company's politics.

Do you know of any option or alternative, or have any tip? I'm completely lost on how to achieve this.

Thank you all in advance!

If the demand is growing and you can consider apps, then the [Better PDF Automation](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1212108/better-pdf-automation-for-jira-free?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview) app does *exactly* what you look for!

Related features:

* It can be triggered manually or based on a schedule. ([tutorial](https://midori-global.com/products/better-pdf-automation-for-jira/data-center/documentation/))
* It can export PDFs.
* It can save them to the server filesystem. ([tutorial](https://midori-global.com/products/better-pdf-automation-for-jira/data-center/documentation/configure-automation/save-pdf))
* The server filesystem can be integrated to cloud-based storage, like [OneDrive](https://midori-global.com/products/better-pdf-automation-for-jira/data-center/documentation/cloud-integrations#microsoft-onedrive) or Dropbox.

Give this a try eventually.

*(Discl. this app is developed by our team.)*

As you have limitations for the third party app, you can try Webhook integration where you can send the notification on the particular event (though not in the pdf format).

Also, Filter subscription could also be one of schedule option but again not in the PDF.

Kindly Accept and Vote if it helps.

Thanks

body: Hey, thanks! Unfortunately, it seems that webhooks managing is another feature reserved to admins, but we don't have admin access...

Yes for setting this you need to be Jira admin. you can take the help of Jira admin of your organization as this is just one time setup. Navigate to the cog icon at the top and System.

Kindly Accept and Vote if it helps.

Thanks
