Advance Jira work when a document is approved
A completed approval can move its related Jira work to the next state without a separate status check.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Transition Issue
Transitions a jira issue to a different workflow state, with support for transition name lookup and user assignment by email.
Why this helps
Approval and delivery work drift apart when Jira status depends on someone noticing an external update.
- Transition the related Jira issue after an approval event.
- Keep Jira status aligned with the approval outcome.
- Reduce manual status checks across tools.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveMerge and Jira once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and give it a clear name.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis which available Jira state to use for the approved document event and identify the related issue.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real approval event and Jira issue.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow transition to any status?
It can use a transition available for the issue. Jira exposes available transitions, and the desired destination must be valid for that issue.
What must the event include?
Include the Jira issue identifier and the approval outcome needed to decide whether to transition.
