Keep Jira comments current with task changes
When task context changes, update the comment teammates already use instead of adding another note.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Update Comment
Updates text content or visibility of an existing jira comment.
Why this helps
New comments can bury the latest decision when the original task context has changed.
- Keep one existing comment aligned with updated task context.
- Reduce comment clutter on Jira issues.
- Preserve a clear place for the current handoff details.
