Notis

Link related Jira work from Are.na research

Make dependencies and related work visible when research connects two existing tickets.

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 work can remain disconnected across Jira when the relationship is clear in research but never recorded.

  • Make an explicit relationship visible in Jira
  • Help teammates navigate connected work
  • Include a short explanation for the link

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Are.na and Jira once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation by telling Notis in plain language or using Automations, New Automation in the portal.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to link the two Jira issues named in the request only when the Are.na context explains their relationship.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real pair and check the link type and comment.

Questions about this workflow
