Notis

Keep Jira billing watchers up to date

Reflect a clear ownership change in Jira watcher lists so issue updates reach the people who still need them.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Remove Watcher from Issue

Removes a user from an issue's watcher list by account id.

Why this helps

Old stakeholders may keep receiving issue updates after billing responsibility changes.

  • Keep issue notifications relevant
  • Reflect supplied ownership changes
  • Reduce noise for people no longer involved

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Billsby and Jira once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Explain how the webhook identifies the Jira issue and the user who should stop watching it.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where Notis should send run reports.
  • 5Test with one real ownership change and verify the exact user and issue.

Questions about this workflow

Can the webhook remove a watcher if no Jira issue is identified?

No. The automation needs an existing Jira issue and the account id of the watcher to remove.

What if the person still needs to follow another billing issue?

Watcher removal applies to the identified issue only. Use precise matching so unrelated issues are not affected.
