Problem: How to create a notification configuration that would send out digest of changes and comments in issues happened since yesterday?last run of this notification?

Here's how you approach it in Raley:Solution

1) Create a new Notification configuration of type "Jira issues digested messaging". 

...

6) Finally, specify a message template. You can use our Template Wizard to simplify generation of the template, just make sure you use Table layout so, issues will be shown as HTML table.

Here's a little example on how to render both, changes made and comments added since yesterday. By yesterday, here we mean current time of notification configuration execution - 24 hoursthe last run of this notification configuration. 

#foreach ($issue in $issues)
  #foreach ($history in $issue.changelog.histories)
     #if ($jirassimo.isAfter($history.created, $context.yesterdaylast_run))
        #foreach ($item in $history.items)
            $item.field was changed from $item.fromString to $item.toString
        #end
      #end
  #end
 
   #foreach ($comment in $issue.fields.comment.comments)
      #if ($jirassimo.isAfter($comment.created, $context.yesterdaylast_run))
        Comment by $comment.author.name: $comment.body
      #end
   #end
#end

You probably noticed the usage of $context.last_run variable. This variable contains the datetime of last invocation of Scheduled notification configuration, no matter whether there were any emails sent with that invocation or not. 

The value in $context.last_run is stored in format yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm and you use $jirassimo.isAfter() helper function to understand if a date in argument 1 is after the date in argument 2.

There are more variables available in $context. To learn about them take a look at Context variables wiki page. To learn more about functions available in $jirassimo check out this page
