Keep lead stakeholders informed from Jira
Add the relevant stakeholder to the Jira issue updates so they can follow the work in context.
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 stakeholder may miss a needed update when they are not watching the Jira issue connected to their lead.
- Make the relevant stakeholder a watcher on the follow-up issue.
- Keep issue updates tied to the work they care about.
- Reduce separate manual notification steps.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Botdog and Jira once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to add the stakeholder identified in the Botdog webhook as a watcher on the related Jira issue when the stakeholder and issue are clear.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real stakeholder and issue, then verify the watcher list.
Questions about this workflow
What identifier does Jira need for a watcher?
The Jira action uses an account ID. The webhook should provide an account identifier Notis can resolve, or the instruction should use Jira user lookup when needed.
What happens if the stakeholder is unclear?
The instruction should avoid adding a watcher unless the stakeholder and related issue are clear.
