Trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add Watcher to Issue

Why this helps
Interested teammates miss updates when nobody adds them to the Jira issue's watcher list.
- Keep a named stakeholder informed about an issue.
- Reduce manual watcher-list maintenance.
- Flag unresolved user identities for review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bika.ai and Jira once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
- 3Ask Notis to add the person named in each submitted Bika request as a watcher on its identified Jira issue.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Submit one real request with a known issue and user, then verify the watcher list.
Questions about this workflow
What details identify the watcher?
Include the person's Jira account identity or information that can be used to find their account, along with the issue identifier.
Can the workflow add someone who does not have a Jira account?
The action requires a Jira account id. If a user cannot be resolved, ask Notis to report it for follow-up.
