Route hiring related Jira work to its owner
When an Ashby update identifies who should act, let Notis assign the related Jira issue to that person.
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 next owner in recruiting does not help if the related Jira issue stays unassigned.
- Turn a named next owner into a Jira assignment.
- Reduce time spent finding and assigning the right issue.
- Keep accountability visible in the team's work tracker.
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 assign the Jira issue named in the request to the responsible person identified in the Ashby update.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real update with a Jira issue and owner, then review the assignment.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow create a new Jira issue?
No. It assigns an existing Jira issue identified in the webhook request.
What if Jira cannot find the named owner?
Jira's assignment action supports email or name lookup. Include a usable email or name in the request, and review the run report if assignment does not resolve.
