Route a Marvin task handoff to a Jira owner
When a task is ready for someone else, pass the Jira issue and owner in one handoff.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Assign Issue
Assigns a jira issue to a user, default assignee, or unassigns; supports email/name lookup.
Why this helps
A clear task can still stall when ownership is left implicit between personal planning and team tracking.
- Make ownership part of the task handoff.
- Assign an existing issue using a provided name or email.
- Keep routing decisions out of a separate follow-up message.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Amazing Marvin and Jira once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to assign the Jira issue key in each handoff to the named teammate or email provided.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Jira issue and a valid teammate identifier.
