Add Jira watchers from AnyDB requests
When someone needs updates on a ticket, send Notis the issue and Jira account reference so they can follow it.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add Watcher to Issue
Adds a user to an issue's watcher list by account id.
Why this helps
People who need issue updates can be left out when watcher requests are handled manually.
- Include the right stakeholder in issue updates
- Reduce repeated manual steps
- Keep the request and run report traceable
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AnyDB and Jira once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the watcher workflow.
- 3Tell Notis to add the supplied Jira account to the referenced issue's watcher list.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real request and confirm the watcher.
Questions about this workflow
What user identifier does Jira require?
The action adds a watcher by Jira account ID, so provide that identifier or ask Notis to resolve it from the supplied context.
Can this notify someone outside Jira?
This action adds a Jira user as a watcher; it does not send an external notification.
