Notis

Keep the right people in the loop on privacy work

Add the person named in the risk request to the issue's update list.

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

The people who need progress updates may not be watching the issue where remediation happens.

  • Keep a named stakeholder informed about issue updates
  • Use the Jira issue and user details supplied in the request
  • Avoid manual watcher changes

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Borneo and Jira once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, or tell Notis to set it up from any channel.
  • 3Ask Notis to add the named Jira user from a Borneo webhook request as a watcher on the identified issue.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with a real issue and a Jira user account.

Questions about this workflow

What user identifier is needed?

The Jira action requires an account id. Use the user lookup action if the request provides a name or email that needs resolving.

Does this assign the user to the issue?

No. Adding a watcher subscribes the user to issue notifications; assignment is a separate action.
