Triage Are.na ideas into Jira

Separate ideas ready for action from references that are still useful as research.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Create Issue

Creates a new jira issue (e.g., bug, task, story) in a specified project.

Why this helps

When saved ideas have no triage pass, it is easy to lose track of the few that are ready to move forward.

  • Apply your own readiness criteria during review
  • Create Jira issues only for ideas that qualify
  • Keep exploratory material from flooding the work queue

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, specify the Are.na collection and your criteria for creating a Jira issue from an idea.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real review and refine the readiness criteria if needed.

Questions about this workflow

How does Notis know which ideas are ready?

State the criteria in your instruction. Notis should not assume a priority threshold or baseline you have not supplied.

What happens to ideas that do not qualify?

The instruction can ask Notis to leave them in Are.na and report that no Jira issue was created.
