Put candidate decisions beside related Jira work
When a hiring decision affects a project, send its Ashby context to Notis and add a comment to the relevant Jira issue.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add Comment
Adds a comment using atlassian document format (adf) for rich text to an existing jira issue.
Why this helps
Project owners may miss hiring decisions that affect delivery when updates stay inside the recruiting workflow.
- Keep hiring context alongside related project work.
- Make decision updates easier for Jira issue participants to find.
- Avoid rewriting a decision in multiple places.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ashby and Jira once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to add the candidate decision and relevant recruiting context as a comment on the Jira issue identified in the request.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real candidate decision with an issue reference and review the comment.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create a Jira issue?
No. It adds a comment to an existing Jira issue, so the webhook request needs to identify the issue.
Can it include a decision rationale?
Yes, if the request includes that rationale and you ask Notis to include it in the comment.
