Who this guide is for

This guide only concerns users who are looking to upgrade from the old Atlassian Labs "Automation Lite for JIRA Server" (formerly "JIRA Automation") add-on to the new "Automation for JIRA" (either Lite or Pro) add-on provided by Code Barrel. This guide is only required for JIRA Server.  If you are in Cloud, you can safely ignore this page.  

...

Please note, that all your existing automation rules will be migrated in every upgrade scenario.  So for example if you have some automation rules configured in "Automation Lite for JIRA Server" and install the Pro edition, then all your automation rules will be migrated across.

Third

...

party Automation extensions

A final scenario to consider is if you are using third party extensions to Automation for JIRA, such as Midori's PDF Automation add-on, or Valiantys' nFeeds add-on.  We continue to provide support for these third party extensions, however the configuration UI has changed significantly and these third party extensions will have to be updated with the new UI. We're actively working with vendors to provide new versions of their add-ons soon, but in the meantime we will render a fallback UI that should still allow you to use these extensions.  Rules already configured with actions provided by third party extensions will continue to run.

...

If you upgrade to the Pro version at some stage in future from our Lite version, then you should see the following add-ons listed:
