Keep incident updates with the Jira issue
When a known issue is affected by an incident, capture the alert context in its Jira discussion.
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
Useful alert details can disappear into monitoring pages while the related Jira issue stays out of date.
- Keep relevant incident updates beside existing Jira work.
- Reduce manual status notes during investigation.
- Preserve context for teammates who open the issue later.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Better Stack and Jira once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis the outcome you want, in plain language or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to comment on the identified Jira issue with the relevant Better Stack incident details.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example that includes an identifiable Jira issue.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a Jira issue?
No. It adds a comment to an existing issue, so the webhook data or your instruction needs to identify that issue.
What if the alert does not include a Jira issue key?
Notis needs a reliable way to identify the existing issue. Include the key in the webhook data or provide a rule that uses information actually available.
