Use Google Cloud Platform actions with Automation

This article refers to features that are currently rolling out. To find out when these features will be live on your site, keep an eye on our release notes or the Atlassian Community.

You can connect your Google Cloud Platform account with your project to automate the retrieval of data from Google Cloud Platform.

To use these actions, you need to connect the Google Cloud Platform app to Atlassian Automation platform. You’ll get a connection setup message when you select the action. Once the connection is established, you can automate actions and set up triggers based on Google Cloud Platform events, such as create virtual machine, start virtual machine, stop virtual machine, etc.

You must be a Jira admin to connect Google Cloud Platform to Atlassian Automation.
