Make relationships between backend records visible in Jira by linking the issues that track the associated work.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Link Issues

Why this helps
Related backend records can point to work that remains scattered across separate Jira issues.
- Make related work easier to discover in Jira.
- Preserve the relationship reported by Backendless.
- Reduce manual issue cross referencing.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Backendless and Jira once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to link the two Jira issues named in each Backendless relationship request using the appropriate Jira link type.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real relationship request and two Jira issues.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which link type to use?
Include the intended relationship in the request or describe the link type in the instruction. Jira's available link types depend on the instance configuration.
What issue details should the request contain?
Include both Jira issue keys and enough information to choose the correct relationship.
