Generate tasks from selected text and add them to Jira.

Context switching and app switching can be major productivity killers. It's easy to get derailed when we have to stop what we're doing and switch to a completely different task. However, there are times when we encounter things that we want to remind ourselves to do later. This can be especially challenging when we're in the middle of something else and don't want to lose our momentum.

This automation converts the selected text into a task, and creates a task in Jira with the content.

That's where automation can come in handy. By automating certain tasks, we can streamline our workflows and reduce the need for context switching. For example, if you use Jira to manage your projects, you can create Jira tickets from anywhere without leaving your current workflow. This means you can quickly capture your ideas and to-dos without losing your focus on your current task.

Step 1: Set up the automation

Click the “Try it” button at the top of this page to get this Playbook saved.

You will be redirected to download the browser extension when you run it for the first time. Bardeen will also prompt you to integrate Google Mail and Jira if you haven't done so previously.

Bardeen will then prompt you enter the Jira task list and the due date as well as assignee for the task. 

Step 2: Try it!

Press Option + B on Mac or Alt + B on a Window machine on your keyboard to launch Bardeen.

Run the playbook on selected text you want to save as action lists.

By taking advantage of automation tools like this, you can become more efficient and effective in your work. Instead of constantly shifting your attention from one task to another, you can stay focused on the task at hand while still capturing important ideas and tasks for later. This can help you work more productively and ultimately achieve better results.
