Notis

Keep the right reviewer in the Jira loop

Add the reviewer who needs updates to the Jira issue tied to the handoff.

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

A person asked to follow a code review can miss later Jira changes if they are not watching the issue.

  • Keep requested reviewers aware of issue changes.
  • Reduce manual watcher management.
  • Make review handoffs easier to follow.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Bitbucket and Jira once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis to add the named reviewer in the request as a watcher on the related Jira issue.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Send one real handoff and verify the watcher list.

Questions about this workflow

What user information is needed?

Include the Jira issue key and reviewer account id in the request.

Can it look up a reviewer by name?

The watcher action requires an account id. Resolve the user before calling the action or include the id in the request.
