Automation: Once a Checklist item is marked as 'Done', send slack notification
Asked by kristina.soriano:

I would like to create an automation where once I marked the checklist item(Solution Design) to 'Done', it will send a Slack notification. I'm using 'Checklist for Jira - Free' plugin. There's something wrong on my conditions(Compare field values), please enlighten me or suggest a way to possibly implement this automation. Appreciate your help. Thanks

I am Adaeze, and I am working with the team behind Checklist for Jira \| Free.

The condition will have to check the "field change to" instead of "change from", as below:

Depending on if you use status or checkbox, the value field should be **\[Done\] Solution Design**

Thanks, I tried updating the rule, however, it still won't perform the action coz it doesn't match the condition based on audit log. I might be missing something. Please help. Thanks

Can you open a ticket with us [here](https://herocoders.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portals)? I would like to review this on a call.

Also, since you are using the Checklist Text field, you need to enable the "save local items to Jira custom field" to allow the Checklist to sync with it. To enable this, navigate to Jira settings\> Apps\> Checklist for Jira\> Global settings.

Yes, the "save local items to Jira custom field" setting is enabled.

I have raised a ticket **HELP-9040**

Look at the automation example on checking a specific checklist item from the vendor documentation, this condition should help you.

See; [transition-issue-when-a-given-item-is-complete](https://docs.herocoders.com/checklist/transition-issue-when-a-given-item-is-complete)

Combine this with the example on slack message; [send-slack-message-with-checklist-progress](https://docs.herocoders.com/checklist/send-slack-message-with-checklist-progress)
