Connect related Jira issues from event context
Make relationships between tickets visible when an Ably event brings them together.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Link Issues
Links two jira issues using a specified link type with optional comment.
Why this helps
Related tickets are easy to miss when their connection appears in an event stream instead of Jira.
- Make related work easier to discover
- Keep useful cross-ticket context in Jira
- Reduce manual issue linking
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Jira once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from any channel or in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to link the Jira issues identified in the webhook event and specify the relationship to use.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real event containing two valid issue keys.
Questions about this workflow
What must the event include?
It should identify both Jira issues. Your instruction should say what relationship the link represents.
Can I check which link types Jira supports?
Yes. Jira has a separate action to retrieve configured issue link types. If you need a particular type, identify it in your instruction.
