Automation: "Rule" is now "Flow"

We've updated the terminology in Jira automation to better reflect how you build and manage your automated processes. The term Rule has been replaced with Flow throughout the automation experience to provide a more intuitive understanding of the end-to-end automation journey.

To get started with this change:

1. Go to Project settings, then Automation.

2. View your existing automations, which are now referred to as flows.

3. Select Create flow to build a new automation.

Key changes

• Updated the primary label from Rule to Flow in the automation list and editor.

• Renamed the creation button to Create flow.

• Refreshed the visual interface to align with the new terminology.

Benefits

• Provides a clearer mental model of how automation steps connect from start to finish.

• Aligns automation terminology with modern workflow standards.

• Makes it easier for new users to understand the purpose of building automated sequences.
