Canned Responses for Jira implement the [Post workflow function](https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver071/advanced-workflow-configuration-802592741.html#Advancedworkflowconfiguration-postfunctions) allowing you to automatically create comments during issue transition based on a pre-selected Canned Response template.

> ℹ️ You must be granted Jira Administrator permission to be able to modify workflows.

### Adding canned response action

1. Choose one of your Jira projects and go to its **Project*** settings*.
2. In the **Workflows** section, edit the desired workflow.
3. Select the target transition (for example, *Start Progress*) and navigate to **Post Functions*** *tab.
4. Click **Add post function** and select **Comment with Canned Response**.
5. Select a Canned Response from the dropdown:
6. Save the configuration and publish the workflow by clicking **Publish Draft*** *at the top.

From now on, every *Start Progress* transition will result in inserting the selected template as a comment on the issue.
