Keep the right stakeholders watching location work
When a location issue affects specific people, Notis can validate the location and add the supplied stakeholders as Jira watchers.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add Watcher to Issue
Adds a user to an issue's watcher list by account id.
Why this helps
People who need to follow location-sensitive work may miss updates because they were never added to the ticket.
- Keep relevant stakeholders informed as Jira updates arrive.
- Reduce manual watcher maintenance.
- Tie stakeholder visibility to the location context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Big data cloud and Jira once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for location issue watchers.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis how to validate the location and add the supplied stakeholders as watchers when they are affected.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real issue and stakeholder account.
Questions about this workflow
What does Jira need to add a watcher?
The action adds a user by Jira account id. Find Users can search for users, but this workflow assumes the stakeholder is supplied or resolvable.
Will it add everyone named in a request?
Tell Notis to add only stakeholders who are relevant to the validated location and issue.
Can users be removed later?
The allowed Jira actions include Remove Watcher from Issue, but this workflow is set up to add watchers.
